What is a volcano?
100

This is what sedimentary rocks start off as.

What is sediment?

100

These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.

What are sedimentary, igneous, and most metamorphic rocks?

100
The three categories all rocks can be put into.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
100
This word means "resulting from or produced from fire."
What is Igneous?
200

Intrusive igneous rocks are made form what molten material? 

What is lava? 

200

__________ is when rock is exposed to chemical and physical processes that loosen and change the grains of a rock, eventually producing soil/sediment..

What is weathering?

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
"Made from sediment" is the definition of what word?
What is sedimentary?
300

Extrusive rock is formed from the cooling and crystallization of what molten material? 

What is lava?

300

___________occurs when loosened by weathering, mineral grains move downhill. It is the removal of loose sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity.

What is Erosion?

300

___________is the planar arrangement of textural or structural features in a metamorphic rock, formed due to the parallel alignment of minerals. This is caused by lateral pressure.

What is foliation?

300

These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.

What is any type of rock?

300
Metamorphic rocks get their name also from the latin word morph, meaning this.
What is "form" or "to change"?
400

Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types.

400

What are the three types of sedimentary rocks?

What are clastic, organic, and chemical?

400

This the metamorphism that take place near a volcano and is caused by intense heat. 

What is contact metamorism?

400

This is formed when clay goes under a lot of heat and pressure.

What is slate?

400
Sedimentary rocks get there name from this, the substance they are made of.
What is sediment?
500

_________  ___________ igneous rocks form when lava cools quickly, and ___________ ___________ igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly. 

What are fine grained and corse grained igneous rocks?

500

This type of rock is formed from dead trees and plants (also known as fossils). 

What is coal?

500

This metamorphism takes place near convergent plate boundaries and is caused by intense lateral pressure. 

What is regional metamorphosm?

500

This is how any type of rocks become metamorphic rock.

What is heat and/or pressure?

500

Foliated metamorphic rocks get there name for the latin word folia meaning what?

What is leaf?
