Misc
100
Magma that flows out onto Earth's surface.
What is lava?
100

The source material for igneous rocks.

What are magma and lava?

100
Pieces of solid material that have been deposited on Earth's surface by wind, water, ice, gravity or chemical precipitation.
What is sediments?
100

The group of sedimentary rock that is composed of organic material, such as compacted plant remains.

What are Bioclastic sedimentary rocks?

100

The continuous changing and remaking of rocks.

What is the Rock Cycle?

200

The name of the type of texture that a rock with air bubbles has

What is vesicular?
200
This rock is made up entirely of a green mineral with a hardness of approximately 6.5

What is Dunite?

200

Name of the process by which sediments pile up on the ground or sink to the bottom of bodies of water, to be turned into a rock later.

What is deposition?

200

This Sedimentary rock is made up of shell fragments cemented together by calcite "glue."

What is Limestone?

200
The Rock Cycle ALWAYS begins with this molten material.
What is Magma?
300

Fine grained igneous rocks that cool quickly above the Earth's surface

Extrusive igneous rocks

300

Course grained igneous rocks that cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface.

What are Intrusive Igneous Rocks?

300

Clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of angular fragments of various sizes.

What is Breccia?

300

Clastic sedimentary rock made up of rounded fragments of various sizes

What is Conglomerate?

300
Magma, through cooling and crystallization turns into this type of rock.
What is Igneous rocks?
400

Igneous rocks that are dark in color with very high levels of iron and magnesium.

What are Mafic (Igneous) rocks?

400
Rocks such as granite which are light colored and have a high silica content.
What are Felsic (Igneous) rocks?
400
Physical and/or chemical processes that transform sediments into Sedimentary rocks.
What is Lithification?
400
Clastic sedimentary rocks are all composed of the same minerals and sediments, but are not all the same. This property distinguishes between types of clastic sedimentary rocks. 

What is Grain Size?

400
This must happen for Igneous rocks to become Sedimentary rocks.
What is weathering and erosion?
500

The process that occurs as magma or lava begins to cool, to form igneous rock grains.

What is crystallization?

500

Extrusive igneous rock that usually appears black, even though it's felsic

What is Obsidian?

500

The two processes by which crystalline sedimentary rocks form

What are precipitation and evaporation?

500

*We haven't covered this yet but we will soon!*

This process reveals rocks that have been buried underground, exposing them at the surfaace.

What is Uplift? (Take a look at Pg 6 of ESRT!)

500

This must happen for Metamorphic rocks to become Igneous rocks.

What is melting, cooling and crystallization?
