The three major types of rocks

What are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous?

100

The process which begins sedimentary rock formation that occurs when rocks break down.

What is erosion?

100
The two "ingredients" necessary for a metamorphic rock to form

What is pressure and heat?

100
The single most common place where an igneous rock forms.

What is a volcano?

100
A natural, solid mixture of grains and minerals
What is a rock?
200

Two types of Igneous rock

What are extrusive and intrusive?
200

The process in which minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains.

What is cementation?

200
Any process that affects the structure or composition of a rock in a solid state as a result of changes in temperature, pressure or the addition of chemical fluids.

What is metamorphism?

200
Igneous rock that forms outside of a volcano by lava cooling

What is extrusive rock?

200

The grain size and the way grains fit together in a rock

What is texture?

300

The two types of metamorphic rock

What are foliated and nonfoliated rocks?
300
The locations that sedimentary rocks are most likely to form.

What are rivers, streams, mountain valleys, and deserts?

300
As depth increases, pressure _____________.

What is increases?

300
The rock that forms when lava cools too quickly to form crystals.

What is volcanic glass?

300
True or False: Depending on the conditions present, rocks can skip from one part of the rock cycle

What is true?

400

The three types of sedimentary rock

What are clastic, chemical, and biochemical?

400

The process where weight from the layers of sediment forces out fluids and decreases the space between grains

What is compaction?

400

The layer(s) the Earth where metamorphic rocks form

What are the mantle and the crust?

400

The reason holes form in extrusive rocks

What is because gas escapes from lava but the lava cools too quickly so the holes from where the gases escaped remain.

400
What drives the rock cycle
What are forces deep within the Earth?
500

The major differences between metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

What is that sedimentary rocks form above ground from the processes of erosion, deposition, and cementation where as metamorphic forms below the Earth from intense pressure and heat?

500

Fossiliferous Limestone is the most common example of _______________.

What is biochemical rock?

500

The name of the rock that changes during metamorphism

What is the parent rock?

500
True or False: Extrusive and Intrusive Igneous rocks can be made from the same minerals.

What is true?

500

What is formed from regional metamorphic rocks

What are mountains?
