Gives the red color to the rock
What is iron?
200
Rocks that coarse and have lots of crystals.
What is granite?
200
A rock with many wavy patterns of different colors, textures, and grain sizes
What is 'metamorphic rock'?
200
True or False: So any rock you find may have once been another kind of rock, or is made from pieces of other rocks. And that rock could change again.
What is 'True'?
200
Rocks that are caused by volcanic eruptions / above the ground
What are 'extrusive' rocks?
300
The evidence of being formed in water
What are 'waves' in a rock?
300
Explosion caused by a crack or weak zone above the magma chamber
What is a 'volcanic eruption'?
300
Some rocks are buried deep in the earth. Heat and pressure can change them into ________
What are 'metamorphic rocks'?
300
Weathering breaks up rocks into smaller pieces and deposits them in lakes and oceans. Over time, these layers of sediment can become pressed to form ___________
What is 'sedimentary rock'?
300
Rocks that form from magma underground and do not erupt.
What are intrusive rocks?
400
When the plates move, they cause mountains to form, volcanoes to erupt, earthquakes to shake
What is caused by the movement of the mantle?
400
Holding tanks found miles below Earth's surface, with very high pressure and heat.
What is Magma Chamber?
400
Sand, silt, tiny pieces of rock
What are 'Sediments'?
400
Extreme heat and pressure underground melts rocks to form magma. This magma then cools to form
What is 'igneous rocks'?
400
Natural process of rain and wind breaking up rocks into smaller pieces and depositing them in lakes and oceans
What is 'weathering'?
500
Sand, silt, tiny pieces of rock, and other sediments are washed into water. Over time, these sediments sink and form layers and layers of sediments, one on top of the other. As these layers grew thicker, they squeeze and cement to form __________.
What is 'sandstone'?
500
These rocks are formed when other rocks melt due to heat and pressure to form magma. When the magma reaches the surface, it becomes lava. The lava flows out, cools, and hardens. Over time, the lava builds up in layers of rocks.
What are igneous rocks?
500
Quartzite, marble, slate, granulite, gneiss
What are examples of 'metamorphic rock'?
500
Fossils are found in this type of rock
What is 'sedimentary rock'?
500
Tectonic plates collide together to form________
What is a 'mountain range'?
