100
These types of rocks come from a volcano and the name means fire.
What is Igneous?
100
This type of rock means "to change".
What is Metamorphic?
100
This type of rock means "to settle."
What is sedimentary?
100
Rocks are a made up of lots of these. Yet if it is a true "substance" it is referred to as this.
What is a mineral?
100
For an igneous rock to form it needs these two things.
What are melting and cooling?
200
This type of igneous rock forms INSIDE a volcano.
What is Intrusive?
200
Metamorphic rocks can be formed from these TYPES of rocks.
What are Igneous and Sedimentary?
200
These three things cause erosion, the first step to forming sedimentary rocks.
What is wind, rain (weather), or tree roots?
200
Scientists use these to figure out what properties to determine what mineral they are looking at.
What are simple mineral tests?
200
For sedimentary rocks to form they need these two things.
What are weathering and erosion?
300
This type of Igneous rock is formed OUTSIDE of a volcano.
What is Extrusive Igneous Rock?
300
All metamorphic rocks need these three things to form.
What are heat, time, and pressure?
300
Rivers carry these small broken pieces of the earth downhill, they are what make up sedimentary rock.
What are sediments?
300
A test that shows the true color of the mineral is called this.
What is a streak test?
300
For Metamorphic rocks to form they need these two things.
What are heat and pressure?
400
Igneous rocks that cool very slowly form from this material. (hint: magma or lava)
What is magma?
400
Metamorphic rocks form here.
What is deep inside the Earth?
400
Rivers carry particles of the earth downhill and drop them off at the bottom of rivers, oceans, and lakes eventually forming these.
What are layers?
400
A scientist uses this test to compare the hardness of different minerals.
What is the hardness test?
400
All rocks need this to form or change.
What is Time?
500
Igneous rock that cools very rapidly forms from this material.
What is lava.
500
This is an example of a metamorphic rock?
What is either marble, slate, or quartzite?
500
For a sedimentary rock to truly form, the layers need to do this.
What is harden and cement together, usually caused by pressure?
500
A scientist uses the acid test to determine if a mineral contains this.
What is carbonate?
500
All rocks do this, and we know because they do not stay the same over time, they all go through the rock cycle.
What is change?
