Metamorphic rocks are found __________ _________ _________ the Earth's surface.
What is buried deep below?
100
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and hardening of ________ or _________.
What is magma or lava?
200
A volcano that has not erupted in a long time, but could possibly erupt again.
What is a dormant volcano?
200
The layer of Earth that you live on. It is also the most widely studied and understood. It is composed of two basic rock types, granite and basalt.
What is Earth's Crust?
200
Particles that form a Sedimentary Rock by accumulating are called ________________.
What is a sediment?
200
The two types of metamorphic rocks are ____________ and _________________.
What is foliated and non-foliated?
200
Igneous rocks that are formed below the Earth's surface are called ___________ rocks.
What is intrusive?
300
The simplest type of volcano that is built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent.
What is a Cinder Cone volcano?
300
The hottest layer of Earth that consists of Iron and nickel in the solid state.
What is the Inner Core?
300
Sedimentary rocks are important sources of natural resources like _________ or __________ ______.
What are coal or fossil fuels?
300
Metamorphic rocks such as marble and quartzite that do not have a layered or banded appearance are called _______________ metamorphic rocks.
What is non-foliated?
300
Igneous rocks that are formed on the surface are called ____________ rocks.
What is extrusive?
400
Typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks and bombs. Also called 'stratovolcanoes'. Some of the most beautiful montains in the world such as: Mt. Fuji in Japan, Mt. Shasta in California, and Mt. Rainier in Washington.
What are Composite Volcanoes?
400
The largest layer of the Earth that is 1800 miles thick. This layer is composed of very hot, dense rock. This layer flows like asphalt (the black stuff cars drive on). This flow is the reason that the plates of the Earth move!
What is the Mantle?
400
Before being deposited, sediments are formed by ____________ and ____________.
What is weathering and erosion?
400
Metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist and slate which have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure are ______________ metamorphic rocks.
What is foliated?
400
Igneous rock may form with or with out _________________
What is crystallization?
500
Volcanoes emit what 3 things when they erupt.
What is ash, gases, and lava?
500
This layer is soo hot that the metals in it are all in the liquid state. It consists of Nickel and Iron in the liquid state.
What is the Outer Core?
500
Water, wind, ice, mass movement or glaciers cause sediments to be?
What is transported to the place of deposition?
500
Sedimentary and Igneous rocks are changed into Metamorphic rock by
What is heat and pressure?
500
igneous rocks are also called fire rocks because they are typically formed from the magma from a _______________.
