Ignorant Igneous
This is molten rock found below the earth's surface.
What is magma?
Tiny pieces of rock, sand, shells, etc. formed from weathered rock is known as:
What is sediment?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from any rock type that undergoes _____________ and _____________.
What is heat and pressure?
This is how rocks are classified in the rock cycle:
What is how they are formed?
When sediments go under compacting and cementing processes they become___________
What are sedimentary rocks?
Explain the difference between magma and lava:
What is magma is molten rock inside of the Earth and lava is molten rock that has reached Earth's surface?
This is molten rock found above the earth's surface.
What is lava?
The final 2 processes that turn sediments into sedimentary rocks?
What are compaction and cementation?
Metamorphic rocks can be made from ____________, _______________, or _______________________ rocks.
What is igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
The process of water, wind, and heat breaking down rock is known as:
What is weathering?
When igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks go under weathering and eroding they become_________________
What is sediments?
What needs to increase for metamorphism to occur?
What is temperature and pressure?
Igneous rocks are categorized as _________ or _________, depending on where the molten rock cooled.
What are extrusive and intrusive.
What is the difference between weathering, erosion and deposition?
What is, weathering breaks rock down, erosion carries it away and deposition drops the sediment off?
What processes does an igneous rock go through in the rock cycle to become a metamorphic rock?
What is an increase in temperature (heat) and pressure?
The process in which sediment is dropped and comes to rest:
What is deposition?
When metamorphic and igneous rocks go under melting they turn into__________
What is magma?
Weathering and erosion can change which type of rock into sediments?
What is all rocks can become sediment?
__________ igneous rocks have cooled slowly, BELOW the Earth's surface.
What is intrusive?
This type of rock is known for having fossils in it.
What is sedimentary rock?
What processes does a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
What is an increase in temperature (heat) and pressure?
The process by which sediment is removed from its source location:
What is erosion?
Igneous rocks are formed by:
What is by magma/lava cooling and hardening?
How does a rock become magma?
What is it melts?
__________ igneous rocks have cooled quickly, ON the Earth's surface.
What is extrusive?
What processes does a metamorphic rock go through to become a sedimentary rock?
What is weathering to become sediment and compaction/cementation to become a sedimentary rock?
What processes does magma go through in the rock cycle to become a metamorphic rock?
What is cooling to form an igneous rock, and heat and pressure to become a metamorphic rock?
A process where rocks are created, destroyed, & change from one type to another.
What is the rock cycle?
This rock is found on Earth’s surface due to volcanic activity:
What is an extrusive igneous rock?
What is the difference between an extrusive and an intrusive igneous rock?
What is EXTRUSIVE igneous rocks cool QUICKLY - ON the surface of Earth and INTRUSIVE igneous rocks cool SLOWLY - BELOW the surface of Earth.
