The Rock Cycle
Igneous Rocks
Sedimentary Rocks
Metamorphic Rocks
Name that Rock Type
100
Small pieces of rock material.
What is sediment?
100
This type of igneous rock will have large crystals.
What is intrusive?
100
This type of sedimentary rock is formed when minerals crystalize from water.
What is chemical?
100
All metamorphic rocks form as a result of these two things.
What is heat and pressure?
100
Pumice is an example of what type of rock (be specific).
What is extrusive igneous?
200
A natural solid mixture of minerals and grains.
What is rock?
200
When this cools, extrusive igneous rock forms.
What is lava?
200
These two processes turn sediments, fragments, and grains in to rock.
What is compaction and cementation?
200
These types of metamorphic rocks have parallel layers or flat elongated mineral.
What is foliated rocks?
200
Limestone is an example of what type of rock?
What is sedimentary?
300
The minerals or bits of other materials that form a rock.
What are grains?
300
This is a description of the crystals of an extrusive igneous rock and why they are like that.
What is small because they cool quickly above ground and form small crystals?
300
This is how clastic sedimentary rocks are classified.
What is the size and shape of their clasts?
300
This is permanent bending and folding of rocks without melting.
What is plastic deformation?
300
Chert and coal are examples of what type of rock?(2 words)
What is biochemical sedimentary?
400
This is how sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rocks and then into igneous rocks.
What is heat and pressure form metamorphic rocks, then melting occurs, which cools crystalizes and turns into igneous rock?
400
One way to classify igneous rocks is by the size of this and it tells us what about the rock?
What is the size of the crystals and it tells us if it's intrusive or extrusive?
400
This type of sedimentary rock has parallel layers and elongated minerals.
What is clastic?
400
These are the two types of metamorphism and what they mean.
What is contact metamorphism which is when magma comes in contact with an already existing rock to form a new one, and regional metamorphism which is when heat and pressure change an entire mountain range or area.
400
Schist and gneiss are both what types of rocks (2 words)
What is foliated metamorphic?
500
This is how igneous rocks turn into sedimentary rock and then into metamorphic rock.
What is igneous rocks are weathered and eroded after uplift turning them into sediment, which compacts and cements into a sedimentary rocks, then heat and pressure turn it into a metamorphic rock?
500
The chemical composition of igneous rocks is determined by this color and determines if this mineral is present or not.
What is light or dark colored and determines if silica is present or not?
500
This type of sedimentary rock can have a grainy texture.
What is clastic rock?
500
This is the way to distinguish a foliated metamorphic rock from an igneous rock.
What is foliated rocks have layers and igneous rocks don't?
500
Stone Mountain is this type of rock. (2words)
What is intrusive igneous?
