The Rock Cycle
Three Classes of Rocks
Extra Part 1
Extra Part 2
100
Anything that has volume and mass.
What is matter?
100
The process by which water, wind, ice, and changes in temperature break down rock.
What is weathering?
100
A combination of one or more minerals or organic matter.
What is rock?
100
Series of processes in which rock changes from one type to another.
What is the rock cycle?
100

What type of sedimentary rock is formed when the sediments are buried, compacted, and cemented together? 

What is clastic?

200
A solid geometric form that results from repeating patterns of atoms or molecules.
What is a crystal?
200
The process by which sediment is moved from one place to another.
What is erosion?
200
Two kinds of igneous rock.
What are intrusive and extrusive igneous rock?
200
The hardest mineral known.
What is a diamond?
200

Why would an igneous rock NOT have any visible crystals? 


Think obsidian...

It cooled too quickly for crystals to form 


This is an example of extrusive igneous rock

300
The color of the powdered form of a mineral.
What is its streak?
300
The process by which sediment comes to rest.
What is deposition?
300
Two ways rocks are classified.
What are composition and texture?
300
Two types of metamorphic rock.
What are foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rock?
300
Type of metamorphic rock in which the mineral grains are arranged in planes or bands.
What is foliated metamorphic rock?
400
Two ways minerals are classified.
What is silicate and non-silicate?
400
Three classes of rocks.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
400
Three types of sedimentary rock.
What are clastic, chemical, and organic sedimentary rock?
400
Three ways minerals are formed.
What is by the cooling of magma and lava, by metamorphism, and by solutions?
400

What are the little air holes called in extrusive igneous rock and how are they formed? 

Vesicles and they form when lava cools and the gas is trapped inside making air pockets. 

500
Five things that minerals have in common.
What is naturally occurring, usually inorganic, solid, definite crystalline structure, definite chemical composition.
500

How does an igneous rock become a metamorphic rock? 

What is Heat and Pressure?

500
General type of sedimentary rock that forms from the remains or fossils, of once-living plants and animals.
What is organic sedimentary rock?
500
Four of the six classes of non-silicate minerals.
What are native elements, halides, sulfates, carbonates, oxides, and sulfides?
500
Five of the seven ways that minerals can be identified.
What are color, streak, luster, cleavage and fracture, density, hardness, and special properties?
