Igneous Rocks
Metamorphic Rocks
Sedimentary Rocks
The Rock Cycle
Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
100
Igneous rocks from from the cooling of this.
What is lava
100
These are formed after immense heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic rocks
100
This type of rock is made up of many small pieces of other rocks.
What is sedimentary rocks
100
What is the definition of the rock cycle?
What is the process that changes rocks from one type to another over a period of time.
100
This is the process that breaks down rocks on Earth's surface into smaller pieces.
What is weathering
200
Igneous rocks can be found around or in these.
What are volcanoes
200
Metamorphic rock can be formed only where on Earth? Inside, outside, or either?
What is inside
200
This is what sedimentary rocks start off as.
What is sediment
200
This is how a sedimentary rock turn into a metamorphic rock.
What is heat and pressure
200
This is the process where sediments are moved from one location to another.
What is erosion
300
Before it is called lava, we refer to this as molten rock or what?
What is magma
300
One characteristic of metamorphic rocks is that they seem to have what?
What are wavy layers
300
This is one type of sedimentary rock we looked at.
What is limestone, sandstone, and shale
300
This is how a metamorphic rock turns into an igneous rock.
What is melting into magma and cooling into rock.
300
This is the process where sediments are dropped at a new location and start to build up.
What is deposition
400
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types.
What is intrusive and extrusive rocks
400
Meta means this.
What is to change
400
This is the process where all the sediments are "glued" together.
What is cementation
400
This is how igneous rocks turn into sediments.
What is weathering and erosion
400
These are the main causes of erosion.
What is water, ice, wind, glaciers
500
This is a type of igneous rocks that is black and glassy.
What is obsidian
500
Name one type of metamorphic rock that we talked about.
What is gneiss, slate, or marble
500
This process is where fluid (water) is squeezed out from all the individual sediments.
What is compaction
500
This is how sediments turn into a sedimentary rock.
What is compaction and cementation
500
Waves crashing into the coastlines and cliffs, causing rocks to fall into the sea is an example of this.
