These are the types of rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.
What are sedimentary, igneous, and most metamorphic rocks?
100
The three categories all rocks can be put into.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
100
What are the three ways we know minerals are formed?
What is solutions, organic process (oysters), and cooling magma/lava.
200
Liquid rocks or minerals may be called _______
What is magma or lava?
200
The breaking down of other rocks into sediment and moving it through wind, rain, or other natural forces.
What is erosion?
200
These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
What are heat and pressure?
200
A rock that was sediment, then went under pressure, then was melted down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.
What is a igneous rock?
200
These are the building blocks for all the rocks in the Earth.
What is rock-forming minerals?
300
Rock that is found inside a volcano is most likely make from this type of molten rock.
What is magma?
300
If one sedimentary rock breaks down into sediments and settles somewhere else with other sediments this is what kind of rock it will most likely form into.
What is another sedimentary rock?
300
Granite (igneous rock) must go through this to become gneiss (metamorphic rock)
What is heat and pressure?
300
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.
What is any type of rock?
300
This mineral will form by evaporation of ocean water.
What is salt?
400
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types depending on how they cool.
What are intrusive (basalt) and extrusive (granite) rocks?
400
This will be the layer with the oldest sediments present.
What is the bottom layer?
400
Metamorphic rocks are usually formed here.
What is deep in the crust or mantle of the Earth?
400
This type of rock can become any other type of rock depending on the conditions it is under.
What is any type of rocks?
400
An example of a mineral that is made up of a pure element is this.
What is copper?
500
This type of igneous rock are made when magma comes out of the Earth.
What is extrusive igneous rock (basalt)?
500
This step in the rock cycle will form the sediment that sedimentary rock is made of.
What is erosion?
500
These are the two categories that metamorphic rocks can be put into.
What are foliated and nonfoliated?
500
This is how rocks on the surface get pushed into the Earth's core.
What is pressure?
500
A mineral must be here on the Moh's hardness scale to scratch another mineral.
