Rock Cycle
Name the three types of rocks.
What are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
When two continental plates move towards each other it is this type of boundary.
What is a convergent boundary?
Name the process that moves weathered material from one place to another.
What is erosion?
What is solid, liquid, gas?
This is the energy of movement.
What is kinetic energy?
This type of rock forms when magma or lava cools and hardens
What is igneous?
Describe the motion of the plates at a divergent plate boundary.
What is the plates pull or move away from each other.?
A river slows as it enters a lake. This is the process that you would most likely see here.
What is deposition?
These two things happen to atoms and molecules when a substance is heated from a solid to a liquid.
What is the atoms and molecules speed up and spread apart?
An inflated balloon is taken outside on a cold day and shrinks. Explain what happens to the air molecules inside the balloon.
What is they slow down and move towards each other?
Define "cycle".
Mid-Ocean Ridges form at this type of boundary.
What is a divergent plate boundary?
This is why deposition usually occurs when water slows down.
A. Slower water causes chemical reactions
B. Slower water warms up sediment
C. Slower water can not carry as much sediment
What is slower water can not carry as much sediment?
Name the physical property in the following list: reactivity, color, flamability, ability to rust.
What is color?
Identify the chemical change in the following list: ice melting, paper being cut, a truck rusting, water evaporating.
What is a truck rusting?
A sedimentary rock that is buried deep underground and exposed to heat and pressure will most likely become this type of rock.
What is a metamorphic rock?
Name the two types of plates that can result in mountain formation.
What are convergent and divergent plate boundaries?
Sand dunes form in a desert where wind slows down. Name the process that forms these dunes.
What is deposition?
This state of matter has a definite volume, but no definite shape.
What is liquid?
Use the rock cycle diagram to explain one possible path a metamorphic rock can take to turn into a sedimentary rock.
Variety of answers
This statement explains why we call the rock cycle a "cycle"?
A. Rocks stay the same forever
B. Rocks can change from one type to another and back again
C. The cycle always starts with igneous rock.
What is B?
Fossils on fish were found at the top of the world's tallest mountain. Explain how this happened.
What is plates collided and pieces of the seafloor were pushed into each other and pushed up over millions of years?
A cliff by the ocean slowly becomes smaller over many years as waves crash over it. Name the two processes that cause this change.
What is weathering and erosion?
Name the mixture in the following list: oxygen, sugar, salt, air.
What is air?
This is why scientists always repeat experiments.
A. To make results faster
B. To prove they are correct
C. To make sure their results were reliable
D. To change the hypothesis
What is to make sure the results are reliable?
