Forming Rocks
What are the Small, flat surfaces that are shiny or sparkly, like tiny mirrors.
What are Crystals?
How is sedimentary rock formed?
What are weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation
How is igneous rock formed?
What is cooling Cooling magma or lava?
How is metamorphic rock formed?
What is Existing rock is subjected to heat and/or pressure?
What is the rock cycle?
what is A series of processes that occur on earth's surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another?
What are Imprints of leaves, shells, insects, or other items in the rock.
What are Fossils?
Individual stones, pebbles, or sand grains visible in the rock.
What are Sand and Pebbles?
How is magma different from lava?
What is Magma is found below the earth's surface while lava is found above the earth's surface?
How is foliated metamorphic rock different from nonfoliated metamorphic rock?
What is In foliated rock, you can clearly see the visible bands of crystals made by pressure. In nonfoliated rock, the crystals are randomly spread throughout?
Why is the rock cycle considered a cycle?
what is It is continually happening again and again. It never ends?
"Holes," like Swiss cheese, in the rock.
What are Gas Bubbles?
Describe what can cause erosion.
What are Wind, water, gravity, etc.
Starting with igneous rock and changing it into metamorphic rock.
What is Heat and Pressure?
Name one example of metamorphic rock.
What are Marble, Slate, Etc?
Will the earth ever run out of rocks? Explain.
what is No, the rock cycle will continually produce more?
What is a shiny and smooth surface, like colored glass.
What is Glassy Surface?
How is weathering different from deposition?
What is Weathering breaks rock apart while deposition lays sediment into a new location.
How is intrusive rock different from extrusive rock?
What is Intrusive igneous rock is formed below the earth's surface while extrusive igneous rock is formed above the earth's surface?
What type of existing rock does metamorphic rock begin as?
What are Igneous and Sedimentary Rock?
Starting with magma and changing it into igneous rock.
What is Cooling?
What are Straight or wavy stripes of different colors in the rock.
What are Ribbon Like Layers?
Changing Sedimentary rock into Magma.
What is Melting?
What is the most common igneous rock found in continental crust? oceanic crust?
What is the Continental Crust - Granite Oceanic Crust - Basalt?
a rock formed from other rocks through Compactation and Cementation.
What is metamorphic rock?
Starting with a sedimentary rock and changing it into a sediments.
