Transformation
The product of an igneous rock cooling
What is and Igneous rock?
The three types of rocks
What are Igneous, Sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks?
A way to measure rock's hardness.
What is the Mohs Hardness scale?
The deepest and hottest layer
What is the Inner core?
The process of sediment sticking together and held in place
What is Cementation
The product of a rock melting.
What is magma?
A common rock that is used for tabletops
What is Granite?
The color of a mineral powder when it is destroyed
What are Streaks?
The layer that we live on
What is the crust?
The process of rocks forming underground
What is Intrusive
The products of sediments getting compacted and cemented
What is a sedimentary
This type of rock forms from the cooling of magma or lava.
What are Igneous rocks?
The look of a mineral after it breaks apart in an irregular way.
What is a fracture?
The layer makes up 80% of Earth's mass
What is the mantle?
Daily double! The process of when sediments stop moving and settle somewhere.
What is deposition?
The product of Igneous rocks when they are exposed to heat and pressure
What are Metamorphic rocks?
This type of rock forms when small particles of rock or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together.
What are Sedimentary rocks?
The type of mineral that can split easily along flat surfaces.
What is cleavage?
The layer that creates Earth's magnetic field
What is the Outer core
The process of rocks forming above ground
What is Extrusive?
Daily double! The product of sediment exposed to weathering and erosion
What are sediments?
This type of rocks forms when a rock is changed by heat and pressure, or by chemical reaction.
What is a Metamorphic rock?
Daily Double! The way light is reflected off a rocks surface.
What is Luster?
The two layers that are made of Iron and Nickel
What is the inner and outer core?
A naturally occurring solid that can form by inorganic processes and that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.
What is a mineral?
