The 20 minerals that make up most of the Earth's crust.
What is rock forming minerals?
100
Rocks that form from cooling magma and lava.
What is igneous rock?
100
Rock that is made from sediment that is squeezed together in layers.
What is sedimentary rock?
100
Rocks that form deep underground.
What is metamorphic rocks?
100
The series of processes that change rock from one form into another.
What is the rock cycle?
200
The three major groups of rock are classified this way.
What is their origin? or how the rock form?
200
The most common type of intrusive igneous rock, that forms hearts of mountains.
What is granite
200
The process of wind and water breaking apart larger rocks into sediment.
What is erosion?
200
The type of metamorphic rock that has banded layers.
What is foliated rock?
200
Sedimentary rocks turn into igneous rocks rocks this way.
What is melting and cooling?

The major rock groups.
What is igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
300
The most common type of extrusive igneous rock that makes up the most of the ocean floor.
What is basalt?
300
Sedimentary rocks that form from the crystallization of a solution on earth's surface.
What is a chemical rock?
300
The type of metamorphic rock that does not have banded layers.
What is nonfoliated?
300
The many process that lead to the formation of igneous rocks.
What is volcanic activity?
400
The characteristics scientists use to classify rocks.
What is color, texture, mineral composition,
400
Igneous rocks may be similar in composition but different in this.
What is texture?
400
A sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together.
What is clastic rock?
400
Forces that create metamorphic rocks.
What is heat and pressure?
400
The type of rock that can form from every type of rock with a little heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic rocks?
500
A rock that forms slowly underground would have this size of crystals.
What is large?
500
The two types of igneous rock.
What is intrusive and extrusive?
500
The process that presses sediments together.
What is compaction?
500
Slate is basically a denser, more compact version of this sedimentary rock.
What is shale?
500
If there is limestone, then this had to be present here in the past.
What is a warm, shallow ocean?
