Rock Cycle Steps
Rock Cycle Processes
100
The slow breakdown of rocks by natural forces
Weathering
100
True or False: Erosion is a slow process
(If false, put the correct answer)
True
100
Igenous rocks form by this step
What is magma/lava cooling down
100
What you did in your lab to make your sedimentary rock
(use sediments in your answer)
What is... squeezing your sediments together to form sedimentary rock
200
Describe one Example of Mechanical Weathering
EX: Abrasion: when natural forces break down rocks
Frost Wedging: when ice gets in between rocks
Exfoliation: Heat and Pressure makes rocks expand in size
200
When small are transported from their original rock to someplace else
What is Deposition
200
When pressure (density) and heat are applied to a rock, it turns into this type of rock
What is metamorphic
200
Which spheres contribute to Magma cooling down after it erupts to form igneous rock?
What is Geosphere and Atmosphere/Hydrosphere
300
True or False: During chemical weathering, the rock's substance does not change
False
300
The 4 natural forces that can cause Erosion are wind, rain, gravity, and ____
ice
300
When lava cools down it forms this type of rock
What is igneous rock
300
True or False: Igneous rocks can only form outside of the Earth's surface
If false, give the correct answer
What is: False. Igneous rocks can be both Intrusive (inside the earth) and Extrusive (Outside the earth)
400
Analyze the rock structure. Based on the rock structure. What type of weathering caused it to appear like this?
Bonus: How can you tell?
Dissolving
Bonus: The rocks look like they are melting downward.
400
What type of weathering does this represent?
Bonus: What is your evidence?
Abrasion
The sand is smoothening out the rocks
400
The type of rock this is and your evidence to prove it
Metamorphic rock because of its wavy ribbon-like patterns
400
What spheres contribute to abrasion caused from a river?
Hydroshere and Geosphere
500
Based on what we've learned about weathering, is rock A or rock B more eroded?
Bonus: What is your evidence?
B: it has smoother edges.
It shows that the surface has eroded over time
Other rock has sharper edges, not really eroded
500
How does Weathering and erosion change the Earth's Surface
It breaks down and creates new land.
500
The type or rock that this is and your evidence to prove it.
What is... Igneous rock because of the gas bubbles
500
The types of rocks that can turn into metamorphic rocks
I.e. (sedimentary, metamorphic, etc.)
Both metamorphic and igneous rocks can turn into metamorphic rocks
