Metamorphic
Igneous
This is molten rock found above the earth's surface.
What is lava?
What process of the rock cycle creates sediments and moves them to a new location?
Weathering and erosion
Suppose a metamorphic rock body has experienced some changes due to processes occurring in the rock cycle. If it remains a metamorphic rock, what processes was it exposed to?
higher heat and pressure
Explain how a metamorphic rock could become an igneous rock
The metamorphic rock gets melted into magma and then cools to become igneous
When did you observe igneous rock in the Starburst lab?
When we used the microwave to melt the starbursts and watched it cool.
How are igneous rocks formed?
Cooling of lava or magma
What process turns sediment into sedimentary rock?
Compaction and cementation
Where on Earth do you find metamorphic rocks?
Deep inside the Earth's crust
What types of rocks can be melted to form magma?
Must have all parts to get points.
Metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary
When did you observe metamorphic rock in the starburst lab?
When we used hot water for heat and pressure from our hands to change the starbursts.
Where would you expect to find an extrusive igneous rock?
Outside or near a volcano
Where on Earth is sedimentary rock found?
At or close to Earth's surface
Why do most metamorphic rocks form deep below Earth’s surface?
The deeper you go inside the Earth, the more pressure and heat
Which types of rock(s) can form underground due to heat?
Must have all parts to get points
Metamorphic AND igneous
A scientist who studies the Earth and rocks
Geologist
Igneous rocks can be found where on Earth?
Must include 2 locations for points
Above Earth's surface AND below Earth's surface
