What is a sedimentary rock?
100
This type of metamorphic rock shows layers of color.
What is foliated rock?
100
What are igneous rocks made of?
Magma or lava
100
What are Sedimentary Rocks made of?
Bits and pieces of other rocks.
100
What are metamorphic rocks made of?
Metamorphic rocks are made of other rocks.
200
An existing rock that undergoes EXTREME heat and EXTREME pressure to become a new rock
What is a metamorphic rock?
200
What are the two types of Igneous rocks?
Extrusive and intrusive
200
What kind of igneous rock is made underground?
Intrusive Igneous Rock
200
What are the three types of sedimentary rocks?
Chemical, clastic, and organic.
200
How are metamorphic rocks made?
Igneous or sedimentary rocks are squeezed by pressure and heated by lava to make metamorphic rocks.
300
Formed when hot, molten rock rises to the surface of the Earth, crystallizes and solidifies.
What is an igneous rock?
300
What kinds of rocks are made of bits and pieces of other rock?
Sedimentary Rock
300
What kind of rock is made above ground?
Extrusive Igneous Rock
300
Support the claim that this is an organic sedimentary rock.
This rock is made of shells, so it was made of dead animals.
300
Are foliated rocks made with more heat or more pressure?
More pressure
400
The way in which light reflects off of a mineral’s surface.
What is luster?
400
This type of rock contains fossils and organisms.
What is an organic sedimentary rock?
400
Support the claim that this is an intrusive igneous rock. Explain if it took a long or short time to cool.
This rock has large crystals, so it must have cooled slowly.
400
Support the claim that this is a chemical sedimentary rock.
This rock has crystals.
400
Support the claim that this rock was heated by lava.
This rock does not have stripes or layers, so it was heated by lava.
500
The color of the mineral in its powdered form.
What is streak?
500
What kind of rock can become a metamorphic rock (name the rock types)
Igneous and sedimentary
500
Support the claim that this is an extrusive igneous rock. Explain if this rock took a long or short time to cool. 
This is an extrusive igneous rock. It cooled very quickly and made very small crystals.
500
How are sedimentary rocks made?
The sediments get squeezed together.
500
Support the claim that this rock was squeezed by pressure. 
This rock has stripes, so it was squeezed by pressure.
