Bro-cabulary
Preserved remains of an organism, usually
from prehistoric times.
Fossils Bro!
The process of wind, rain, ice, and
other factors breaking large rocks into smaller pieces
called sediments
Weathering Bro!
the shaking of the Earth’s surface layer (the crust).
Earthquake Bro!
What type of rocks are fossils usually found in?
Sedimentary Rocks Bro!
When igneous rock cools just below the surface of the earth its called ________________
Intrusive
A data set providing information on
the total number of fossils that have been collected
over time.
Fossil Record Bro!
The movement of soil, rock, or rock
fragments, often created by weathering, from one
place to another by water or wind.
Erosion Bro!
Large fast moving ocean waves due to shaking of the ocean floor
Tsunami Bro!
This occurs when increased pressure forces grains of sediment together
(This is also how garbage trucks squish all the trash into neat little piles)
Compaction Bro!
When igneous rock cools above the surface of the earth its called ________________
Extrusive
A widely distributed fossil that existed
in a narrow range of time and is used by scientists to
identify geological periods.
Index Fossil Bro!
The process by which rocks, soil, and
sediment settle into a new location.
Deposition Bro!
the amount of energy released by an earthquake
Magnitude Bro!
When water evaporates and minerals form between
sediment grains. The minerals act as a kind of glue
to keep sediments bound together
Cementation Bro
Why do intrusive rocks have larger mineral crystals formed than extrusive rocks?
Intrusive rocks cool off slower than extrusive rocks, giving the crystals more time to form larger crystals.
A basic law of geology
that states undisturbed rock strata are deposited
chronologically. The youngest layer is on top and
each layer beneath it is older.
Law of Superposition Bro!
When a surface is repeatedly scraped and
made smooth by particles carried in the wind.
Abrasion Bro!
(A-BRO-sion?)
the measure of damage to structure and living things by an earthquake
Intensity Bro!
What two factors are needed to create metamorphic rocks
Heat and Pressure Bro
What kind of rocks can be used to make Metamorphic rocks?
A) Sedimentary B) Igneous
C) Metamorphic D) All of these
All of these
An unsubcribing /un-aliving of a large number of species within a relatively short period of geological time
Mass Extinction Bro!
When water from a glacier melts and
seeps into cracks in surface rocks and refreezes,
pushing particles away from their original locations.
Plucking Bro!
large cracks in the earths crust where earthquakes can occur
Fault Lines Bro!
What is another word for FOLIATED for foliated rocks
Layered (Strata)
