Igneous Rock
This is molten rock found below the earth's surface.
What is magma?
tiny pieces of rock, sand, shells, etc. is called what
What is sediment?
Metamorphic rocks are formed due to _______ and _______.
Heat and Pressure
When sediments go under compacting and cementing processes they become which type of rock.
Sedimentary rocks.
Tell me about a lab we did in class that showed the different types of rocks and how they change.
Making our own sedimentary rock
Sandcastles, Modelling Clay and pressure, Egg with heated beaker.
This is molten rock found above the earth's surface.
What is lava?
Name 3 examples of Sediments
Broken down pieces of rock,
Sand
Soil
True of False- Metamorphic rocks can change in size and shape.
True- due to intense heat and pressure
What type of rock is affected most by weathering?
Sedimentary
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Define Earthquakes
Shaking and shifting of tectonic plates
What happened to the modelling clay when we applied pressure? How does this relate to metamorphic rocks?
Modelling clay fit more tightly together. Metamorphic rocks become more dense.
True or False: Igneous Rocks can change into metamorphic rocks.
True
A sedimentary rock can change during the rock cycle process. True or False.
True- the cycle is continuous
What do all three types of rocks have in common?
They all contain minerals. They can all be broken down to form other types of rocks.
The rock cycle is not continous. True or false.
False
This breaks down rock into smaller pieces
Weathering
How did the sandcastles experiment demonstrate erosion and weather?
Weathering by wind, rain and running water causes the breakdown of rocks.
Igneous rocks can be found
A. On the Earth's surface
B. Underneath the earth's surface
C. Both A and B are correct
C. Both A and B are correct
This type of sedimentary rocks form when dead plants from millions of years ago mineralizes. We use it to heat homes or fire up the grill!
What is coal or organic sedimentary rock?
How do metamorphic rocks get to earth's surface?
Earthquakes or they are re melted and the molten rock is brought up to Earth's surface through volcanic eruptions.
_________ and ____________ turn sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.
Heat and pressure
What are the three main rock types?
Metamopric
Sedimentary
Igneous
The study of rocks, their history and the processes that form and change them.
a. rock cycle
b. chemistry
c. botany
A. rock cycle
True or False: Igneous rocks are formed when sediments break apart. If false, please correct the statement.
True or False?
Can sedimentary rocks be broken down and change form? Yes or No
Answers may vary.
Examples can include- smaller sizer, different shape
What are two differences between sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
Various answers.
True or false: Any type of rock can become any other type of rock.
True
If a rock gets water in it and that water freezes and cracks the rock, this is known as
a. Porosity
b. Weathering
c. Erosion
B. Weathering
Tell me three things you have learned.
Answers may vary.
Some examples include- examples of each type of rock, the name of the scientist that studies the rock cycle, etc.
