This is a mixture of minerals, mineraloids, glass and organic matter.
What is a rock?
100
Igneous rocks that form on the surface of earth are called __________ rocks.
What is extrusive?
100
This type of metamorphic rock has parallel bands of mineral grains.
What is foliated rock?
100
These are large relatively flat areas on earth.
What are plains?
100
This type of map has distorted areas because earth has been stretched into a square shape.
What is a mercator projection?
200
Rocks on the surface turn into these when wind, water and other forces of erosion act on them.
What are sediments?
200
This is a magma channel that runs up and down.
What is a dike?
200
When _______ and _________ are not high enough to produce magma, metamorphic rocks are produced instead.
What is heat, pressure?
200
These are large, relatively flat, raised areas on earth.
What are plateaus?
200
This type of map is useful for smaller areas, and is very accurate and has correct dimensions.
What is a conic projection.
300
These two forces act on sediments to turn them into sedimentary rock.
What are compaction and cementation?
300
Magma is often formed deep under the earth in what is called a ____________.
What is a batholith?
300
This process is caused by natural minerals such as calcium hardening around sediments to help form sedimentary rock.
What is cementation?
300
These lines indicate how north or south you have traveled from the equator.
What are lines of latitude?
300
These lines indicate areas of equal elevation.
What are contour lines?
400
This causes the formation of igneous rock.
What is cooling magma?
400
This type of magma produces dense, heavy, dark-colored rocks.
What is basaltic magma?
400
This type of metamophic rock is non-foliated, and popular for making statues.
What is marble?
400
These are mountains that are formed by huge, tilted blocks of rocks that are seperated from surrounding rocks by faults.
What are fault block mountains?
400
This explains what the symbols on a map represent.
What is a map legend?
500
These two forces turn sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock.
What heat and pressure?
500
This type of magma produces light-colored, less dense rocks.
What is granitic magma?
500
This mineral in marble gives it its shiny, glassy luster.
What is the mineral calcite?
500
This imaginary line is the 0 degree line for longitude.
What is the prime meridian?
500
These lines are perpendicular to contour lines, and they point toward areas of lower elevation.
What are hachures?
