100
Igneous rock is formed when this material cools.
What is Magma or Lava
100
Name one process that creates Metamorphic rock
What is Heat or Pressure
100
Sedimentary rocks are made up of these
What is Sediments
100
Different processes create different observable features in rocks such as color, streak, luster, and hardness.
What is Properties
100
A solid, non-living material found in nature
What is Mineral
200
This type of Igneous Rock is light in weight and has visible air holes.
What is Pumice
200
Force that squeezes rocks together
What is Pressure
200
Name a process that forms sedimentary rock
What is Compaction or Cementation
200
These 2 processes turn all rock types into sediments over time
What is Weathering and Erosion
200
A minerals hardness can be measured using this scale
What is Mohs Hardness Scale
300
This rock's properties are black, shiny, and smooth.
What is Obsidian
300
True or False- Metamorphic Rock is only formed from Igneous and Sedimentary Rock
What is FALSE- they can also be formed by other Metamorphic Rocks
300
Sedimentary rocks are made of different materials, including this one, that helps determine time and age of the rock.
What are Fossils
300
This rock type is formed with different materials, including fossils, and compaction
What is Sedimentary Rock
300
This is the hardest mineral
What is Diamond
400
Igneous Rocks are formed by these 2 processes
What is cools and hardens
400
This type of metamorphic rock is often used to make tiles and counter tops, and can have a 'vein' like pattern
What is Marble
400
This sedimentary rock forms mainly from plant debris and is used to make fuel.
What is Coal
400
Rocks that are formed when cooled and hardened
What is Igneous Rock
400
All rocks are made up of this
What is Minerals
500
Small, microscopic grain size means the rock has cooled at this speed.
What is Fast or Quick
500
Slate, was formed through the morphism process of this sedimentary rock
What is Shale
500
True or False- Sedimentary Rock can change into Metamorphic Rock OR Igneous Rock
What is TRUE- the rock cycle never stops!
500
This rock type was placed under heat and pressure so that its properties have changed, and has become a new type of rock.
What is Metamorphic
500
When a mineral can easily break into flat sections, this property is called
What is Cleavage
