Igneous Rock
This is molten rock found below the earth's surface.
What is magma?
tiny pieces of rock, sand, shells, etc. is called what
What is sediment?
Metamorphic rocks are formed due to _______ and _______.
Heat and Pressure
The interrelationship among three types of rocks by a series of process in which rock forms.
Rock Cycle
Igneous Rock are classified based on their _________ and ____________.
Texture and composition
This rock was formed underground from magma and has large crystals from cooling slowly. Must tell the rock type as well as the name of the rock!
What is Intrusive Igneous? What is Granite/ Diorite?
This is molten rock found above the earth's surface.
What is lava?
Weathered bits of rock and minerals are classified as:
A. Clastic
B. Bioclastic
C. Chemical
A. Clastic
Contact metamorphic rocks are formed when what flows through it
Magma
What type of rock is affected most by weathering?
Sedimentary
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Caused by slow cooling resulting in larger crystals.
A. coarse grained texture
B. fine grained texture
C. porphyritic texture
A. coarse grained
This rock was formed from lava. Typically found on the ocean floor. Must tell me the rock type as well as the name of the rock!
What is Extrusive Igneous? What is Basalt?
True or False: Igneous Rocks can change into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
True
Newer layers sedimentary rocks on the bottom. True or False.
False
Foliated
When sediments go under compacting and cementing processes they become which type of rock.
Sedimentary rocks.
True or False: Glassy texture has no crystals due to rapid cooling.
True
The two types of Metamorphic Rock
What is Foliated and Non-foliated?
Igneous rocks can be found
A. On the Earth's surface
B. Underneath the earth's surface
C. Both A and B are correct
C. Both A and B are correct
Explain what happens to cause cementation
When there is such great pressure from the compaction that a liquid gets squeezed out to glue sediments together
Regional Metamorphic rocks form mountains due to:
Uplift
What is erosion?
The transportation of sediment from one place to another
Only type of Rock to have fossils
S
Name the parent rock of Marble
What is Limestone?
True or False: Igneous rocks are formed when sediments break apart. If false, please correct the statement.
False-
Igneousis made from cooling magma or lava
When an agent of erosion loses energy and drops sediment
Deposition
Which experiment represented a Metamorphic Rock?
A. Using the blow drier, and applying pressure
B. Melting the chocolate and allowing it to cool
C. Breaking the pieces into smaller particles
A. Using the blow drier, and applying pressure
Igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed by what type energy process?
Earth's Interior: heat, magma, lava, pressure, plate tectonics
List all of the steps to make a Sedimentary rock in the correct order.
weathering, erosion, deposition, lithification or compaction and cementation.
Must have all 4 or 5 in the correct order to earn points
Name the parent rock of Slate
What is Shale?
