100

Igneous rocks can be found around or in these.

What is a volcano?

100
This is what sedimentary rocks start off as.
What is sediment?
100

What type of rocks can become metamorphic rocks?

Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks

100
The three categories all rocks can be put into.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
100

What is intrusive igneous rock?

rock below earth's surface, inside volcano

200

Liquid rock found outside a volcano

What is lava?

200

What is the movement of sediment. (hint think of WED)

Erosion

200
These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
What are heat and pressure?
200
A rock that was sediment, then went under pressure, then was melted down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.
What is a igneous rock?
200

What are crystals? Where are small crystals found: intrusive or extrusive, why?

A solid with molecules arranged in a repeating pattern.

Extrusive! If the magma cools quickly, the crystals do not have much time to form, so they are very small. 

If the magma cools slowly, then the crystals have enough time to grow and become large. 

300

Liquid rock that is found inside a volcano.

What is magma?

300
How does sedimentary rock form?

compaction of sediments then cementing of sediments! compaction=pressing together cementing=gluing

300
How does metamorphic rock become igneous rock?
melts and then cools
300
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.
What is any type of rock?
300

What is weathering?

the breakdown of rock into sediments

400
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types.
What are intrusive (basalt) and extrusive (granite) rocks?
400

How does sedimentary rock turn into igneous rock?

melts due to heat and pressure and then cools and solidifies to form igneous rock

400

How does metamorphic rock turn into sediment?

Weathering and erosion
400

What can cause rocks to change into different types of rock? Need 2 examples

Weathering and Erosion

Heat and Pressure

Compaction and Cementation

Melting

400

Sediment is being carried down a river what is this called?

Erosion

500

What type of rock/rocks can igneous rock turn into?

What is igneous rock, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock?

500

How does sedimentary rock turn into metamorphic rock?

heat and pressure

500

how does metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock?

rock is weathered and eroded into sediments then compacted and cemented together

500
How can rock be weathered? Give 3 examples!

Ice, wind, water, rain, sleet, storms, etc!

500

How would rock experience weathering, erosion, and deposition? Label each step!

Weathering- rock is broken down into sediment

Erosion- sediment is moved by water, wind, etc.

Deposition- sediment is dropped in a place, end of stream, etc.
