Rock Cycle

100

Is water is one of the forces that drive the rock cycle?

Yes

200

What are the main processes of the rock cycle

Crystallization

Erosion and sedimentation

Metamorphism

300

When a rock gets heated to the point of becoming liquid

Melting

400

In which stage of the rock cycle rock is pushed deep under the Earth’s surface, they may melt into magma.

Transition to Igneous

500

What are the various factors responsible for the rock cycle?

• Water
• Accelerated erosion
• Plate tectonics
• Continental collision
• Subduction zones
• Spreading ridges

Rock Types

Name the three rock types

Igneous sedimentary metamorphic

300

 In the transition to a metamorphic state, what happens?

1. Rocks change physically
2. Rocks change chemically
3. It is exposed to high temperatures and pressures

400

 Limestone is a type of this rock

Sedimentary Rock

Igneous rock is formed when magma cools. What type of matter are these.

Igneous rock is a ………………………………………………. Magma is a .……………………………………………………

Natural processes that change Earth’s surface

100

Do rocks undergo transformation? 

Yes

200

Process by which weathered rock and soil are moved from one place to another.

Erosion

300

The type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces.

Mechanical weathering

400

Rock is broken down by frost, rain and sun. What name is given to this process?

weathering

500

The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time; weathering occurs faster in wet climates.

What soil is a mixture of humus, silt, sand a clay?

Loam

300

What soil can only be seen using a microscope?

Slit

400

Dead plant and animal material that is still in the process of decomposing...breaking down

What is the best type of soil to use when growing fruits and vegetables?

loam

Characteristics

100

The thin, solid outermost layer of the Earth that we walk on.

The crust

200

This layer makes up about 83% of the Earth's volume and is located between the crust and the core.

What is the Mantle?

300

This layer is so hot that the metals within it are in a liquid state, creating the Earth’s magnetic field.

What is the outer core

400

This deepest, densest layer of the Earth is solid, composed primarily of nickel and iron.

What is the inner core

500

These are the four major layers of the Earth in order from surface to center.

 

 What are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core?
