The mid-ocean ridge is an example of a ____________________ boundary and ___________________ occurs here where new ocean floor is formed.
What is divergent boundary; sea-floor spreading?
200
A rock that was sediment, then went under pressure, then was melted down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.
What is a igneous rock?
300
The large area underneath the volcano where the magma is held.
What is the magma chamber?
300
This is where igneous rock can be found.

What is a lava plateau?
400
For an Igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock, what needs to happen?
What is weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation?
400
These are the characteristics of metamorphic rock.
What is heat and pressure?
400
This is the mechanism (what causes) the plates to move
What is convection cycles in the mantle?
400
This is formed when clay goes under a lot of heat and pressure.
What is slate?
500
These are smaller bodies of magma that form by a feature by forcing layers of rock to bend upward.
What is a dome mountain?
500
This determines the size of crystals that form in igneous rocks.
What is is the cooling rate of the magma or lava?
500
This is how metamorphic rocks are classified.
What is basis of texture?
500
