What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
100
Breaking down of rocks by wind, water, ice, or heat.
What is physical weathering?
200
This is what partially melted rock is called.
What is lava or magma?

The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces.
What is weathering?
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 crystallized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.
What is a igneous rock?
200
Stress that pushes rocks together.
What is compression?
300
These are the types of igneous rock.
What is intrusive and extrusive?
300
The process whereby sediment and rock is moved from one place to another.
What is erosion?
300
Sandstone (sedimentary) must go through his to become Quartzite.
What is heat and pressure?
300
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.
What is any type of rock?

The stress that pulls rocks apart.
What is tension?
400
This type of igneous rock cools slowly from magma deep inside Earth.

400
These are the two categories of metamorphic rock.
What are foliated and nonfoliated?
400
This is how igneous rock is transformed into metamorphic rock.
What is heat and pressure?
400
The type of weathering that occurs when living organisms break rock.
What is biological?
500
This type of igneous rock tends to be glassy or have small or barely visible crystals.
What is extrusive?
500
This type of rock is formed from decayed tropical plants and trees.

500
This is the hardest known metamorphic rock.
What is a diamond?
500
This is the process by which layers of sediment become pressed together over time.
