Igneous
how are the Igneous rocks made.
The Igneous rocks are made from cooled magma
How are sedimentary rocks made
How are metamorphic rocks made?
Metamorphic rocks form when preexisting rocks are exposed to very high heat and pressure.
Name 3 things that happen during the rock cycle.
magma cooling,rocks eroding,volcanoes exploding,rocks heating up and turning into magma,sediment getting transported, sediment getting compacted together, rocks getting heated and pressured.
why do some rocks have bigger crystals than others.
The reason some rocks have bigger crystals is because the rock had a longer time to form meaning that the different minerals had more time to find others of its kind, making the crystals larger.
True or False, lighter colored igneous rock are less dense
True, Lighter colored rocks are filled with elements such as silicon,aluminum,Sodium,Potassium.
where can you find sedimentary rocks
Near bodies of water. Rivers,Lake oceans... (etc)
name 2 types of metamorphic rocks.
Marble,slate,gneiss,schist,phyllite.
what are the 3 rock categories formed during this process .
Igneous,metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
what's a rock called that has large crystals
an intrusive rock, and a rock with small crystals is called an extrusive rock.
Name 3 igneous rocks
Obsidian,pumice,Tuff,Granite,Basalt,Pegmatite,bacite,andesite,Rhyolite, Scoria.
What are the main types of sedimentary rocks
Limestone,shale,sandstone.
Name a place where you can find a Metamorphic rock.
Metamorphic rock are usually found is mountain ranges including deep sea mountain ranges, they are also found is deserts
what rock are volcanoes made of.
Igneous.
Is a diamond a crystal
Yes, a diamond is a crystal.
Name a place that you can find a igneous rock.
Volcanoes, when the magma comes out of the volcano it dries and then that happens millions of times and that's how volcanoes are made.
True or False Limestone deposits in midwest have large amount of fossils in the rocks.
True, often in the midwest there are lots of fossils in the limestone deposits.
What is slate made of.
Slate is made from black mud, often found in the bottom of lakes and seas, and sometimes they have fossils in them, but the fossils are often squashed.
name 1 igneous rock,1 sedimentary rock and one metamorphic rock.
Igneous:Obsidian,pumice,Tuff,Granite,Basalt,Pegmatite,bacite,andesite,Rhyolite, Scoria.
Sedimentary:Limestone,shale,sandstone.
Metamorphic:Marble,slate,gneiss,schist,phyllite.
Do all rocks have crystals in them
Yes, all rocks have minerals/crystals in them
What type of rocks make igneous rocks?
All rocks make Igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from magma, and magma is just melted rock.
how long does it take for a sedimentary rock to form?
millions of years, 2-5
when a rock is being transformed into a metamorphic rock does is stay solid the whole time?
Yes, during the whole process of becoming a metamorphic rock, the rock transforming stays solid.
How many stages are there in the rock cycle?
3,The igneous stage,sedimentary stage, and metamorphic stage
what is the rarest crystal
Painite.Alexandrite.Taaffeite.Jadeite.Red Beryl.Black Opal.Grandidierite.Benitoite.
