Rocks can be identified on the basis of these two characteristics.
What are mineral content and texture?
100
Rocks formed from cooling magma or lava
What are igneous rocks?
100
Formed in layers from fragments of broken down rock, organic material, or chemical precipitation
What are sedimentary rocks
100
Rocks changed by heat and pressure, but not melted.
What are metamorphic rocks?
100
Volcanic eruptions and material from the layer of the Earth we call the mesosphere form this kind of rock.
What is igneous rock?
200
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
What are the names of three major rock groups?
200
This is the name for the type of igneous rocks that cool and form on Earth’s surface.
What are extrusive igneous rocks?
200
Clastic, chemical, and organic
What are three types of sedimentary rocks?
200
Foliated and non-foliated
What are the two major divisions of metamorphic rocks?
200
Metamorphic rocks are formed by this process.
What is heat, pressure and stress, and time, and without melting?
300
Lithosphere
What is the scientific name for the Earth's crust?
300
This is the name for the type of igneous rocks that cool and form below the Earth’s surface.
What are intrusive igneous rocks?
300
These type of sedimentary rocks are made up of fragments of other rock, including sandstone & conglomerate.
What are clastic rocks?
300
This type of metamorphic rocks have a fine grain and highly organized crystal layers.
What are foliated metamorphic rocks?
300
The scientific name for the mantle, Earth’s middle layer, is this word.
What is mesosphere?
400
The difference between magma & lava is this.
What is Magma=molten rock below the Earth’s surface, and lava = molten rock on the surface?
400
Extrusive igneous rocks have these characteristics.
What is small crystals and a fine grained texture?
400
This type of sedimentary rocks are made up of precipitated material from other rock.
What are chemical sedimentary rocks?
400
This type of metamorphic rocks are coarse-grained, with crystals at angles to each other.
What are non-foliated rocks?
400
The process of weathering, erosion, deposition, and lithification form this kind of rock.
What are sedimentary rocks?
500
The process by which all rocks are formed and how basic Earth materials are recycled through time.
What is the Rock Cycle?
500
Intrusive igneous rocks have these characteristics.
What is large crystals and a coarse-grained texture?
500
This type of sedimentary rocks are made of the remains of once living things.
What are organic sedimentary rocks?
500
These types of rocks can be changed to metamorphic rocks in the rock cycle.
What are igneous and sedimentary, (and metamorphic!) rocks?
500
This happens to all rock as soon as it comes to the surface of the Earth?
What is weathering?
