Types of Rocks
What is sedimentary rock?
This is the process of a solid turning into a liquid
What is melting?
What is the crust?
This plate boundary involves two plates that move away from each other
What is a convergent boundary?
This is something that a model has that is good
What is a benefit?
A rock that is formed from cooled lava
What is igneous rock?
This is the process of adding a high temperature to a substance
What is heating?
This layer is made of melted rocks and is the thickest layer
What is the mantle?
This plate boundary results in mountains and volcanoes
What is a convergent boundary?
This is something a model does not have, that the real thing does
What is a limitation?
A rock that forms as a result of heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rock?
This is the process of removing heat
What is cooling?
This layer is made of melted metals
What is the outer core?
This plate boundary results in the formation of an ocean basin
What is a divergent boundary?
This model of plate tectonics was shown in class that involved a fruit and toothpicks
What is the orange peel model?
This type of rock typically appears in layers
What is sedimentary rock?
This is the process of rock being worn away by rain, wind, etc.
What is weathering and erosion?
This is the hottest, most dense layer made of solid metal
What is the inner core?
This plate boundary includes a fault line, and can result in earthquakes
What is a transform boundary?
The model of the Earth's layers on the poster did not include this
What are:
-temperature
-pictures
-material
-size
This rock is typically found around convergent boundaries
What is metamorphic rock?
This is the process where sediments are pressed into layers over time
What is compaction/cementation?
This is the method of heat transfer that allows the inner core to heat the outer core, through direct contact
What is conduction?
This is a type of convergent boundary, where denser oceanic crust sinks underneath continental crust. A volcano can form here
What is a subduction zone?
A rock cycle can not be complete without this
