Magma cooling and crystallizing.
How are intrusive igneous rocks formed?
100
The rock is weathered and eroded into sediments. Then, it is deposited, crushed under pressure, and cemented.
How are sedimentary rocks formed?
100
Heat and pressure

Minerals make up the rocks
How are minerals different than the three types of rocks?

Lava cooling and crystallizing
How are extrusive igneous rocks formed?

Sedimentary rocks protect the fossils and the other rocks would destroy it.
Why are fossils only found in sedimentary rocks? (Usually)
200
The metamorphic rock is weathered, eroded, pressured and cemented.
How are metamorphic rocks changed into sedimentary rocks?
200
At the boundaries of plates
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes located?
200
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
What are the three types of rocks?
300
The sedimentary rock needs to melt, cool and crystallize.
How can a sedimentary rock become an igneous rock.
300
Wind, water, ice, hail, rain, snow
What is weathering and eroding?
300
Metamorphic rocks need to be melted, cooled and crystallized.
How do igneous rocks become a metamorphic rock?
300
The plates move past each other and create a weak spot in the crust or one plate slides under and melts
Why are volcanoes formed by plate boundaries?
300
One so you keep the test fair
How many things do you change in a lab?
400
Magma is under the surface and lava on the surface of the Earth
How are magma and lava different?
400
The bottom layer because it was formed first.
What is the oldest layer- the top or the bottom.
400
No, rocks can turn into any kind of rock at any time.
Does the rock cycle go in one direction?
400
Colliding (convergent), pulling past each other (divergent), or sliding past each other (transform)

What information do fossils give scientists?
500
Rocks around the magma chamber since its ridiculously hot
Where are metamorphic rocks most likely formed?
500
Earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains
How do scientists know where the plate boundaries are?
500
Science, of course!
