Vocab 2
The rock cycle
100
The force that occurs when an object pushes on another objects. It is involved in the formation of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
What is Pressure
100
How to form an sedimentary rock!
1. Weathering and erosion 2. Sediments 3. Cementation/compation
100
List four examples of erosion?
1. Wind 2. Water 3. Ice 4. Gravity
100
A sediment that is produced by physical weathering of a rock. The artical size is smaller than silt
Clay
100
How long does it to go through the whole rock cycle
Millions of years
200
Forces that help in building new rocks and landforms
What is constructive forces
200
How to from a metamorphic rock?
1. Buried deep in ground 2. Heat 3. Pressure
200
Explain how rocks are Brocken down into different sizes of sediments?
Weathering
200
Molten rock found below the earths surface
Magma
200
How to go from a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock
Heat and pressure
300
Forces that were away rocks and landforms?
What is deconstructive forces
300
How to make an igneous rock?
1. Heat 2. Turns into magma 3. Cools 4. Hardens
300
What type of weathering occurs when a rock shows evidence of weathering?
Physical and chemical weathering
300
Magma that reaches the earths surface during a volcanic eruption?
Lava
300
How to go from a sedimentary rock to sediments
Weathering and eroison
400
This is the living or once living material that makes up soil
What is organic material
400
Explain the difference between physical and chemical weathering?
1. Physical- you still have your substance 2. Chemical- substance is gone
400
What is the BEST explanation for different colored specks and different color markings in some rocks
Lots of different sediments are in a rock and minerals.
400
Small pices of broken rock
Sediments
400
How to go from a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock
1. Melting 2. Magma 3. Cooling and hardening
500
The decomposed (rotting) organic material found in soil?
What is humus
500
What is the difference between the formation of an igneous rock and a metamorphic rock is time and pressure explain why?
Time- Igneous rocks don't take as long to form Pressure- Igneous rocks don't require pressure
500
Explain how soil is related to the weathering and erosion of rocks. Include in your explanation what minerals make up soil and how soil may differ from place to place?
Weathering breaks down rocks into sediments. 1. Air 2. Water 3. Humus 4. Animals
500
The slight melting of the bottom surface of the glacier that causes freezing and thawing in the cracks in the rocks below. The loosened rock become attached to the ice and move with the glacier
Glacier plucking
500
How to go from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock
1. Weathering and eroison 2. Sediments 3. Compaction and cementation
