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
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

Liquid rocks or minerals may be called _______

What is molten rock or magma?

200

The movement of sediment.

What is 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 into magma, and 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

Rock that is found inside a volcano is most likely made from this type of molten rock.

What is magma?

300

Explain the entire process of how a marine creature can form sedimentary rock.

The marine organism dies, settles to the seafloor, and gets compacted into layers of sediment.

300

Sandstone (sedimentary) must go through this to become Quartzite.

What is heat and pressure?

300

These types of rocks are formed by weathering.

What is sedimentary 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.
What are intrusive (basalt) and extrusive (granite) rocks?
400

What two types of sedimentation happen on earth?

What is physical and chemical?

400

Explain the process of deformation.

What is heat from Earth's core and pressure from tectonic plates cause the layers of rocks to bend.

400

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

What is slate or metamorphic rock?

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

Name a type of Igneous rock.

What is Basalt, Pumice, Obsidian, Granite, or Gabbro?

500

Name a type of Sedimentary Rock.

Sandstone, Limestone, Breccia, Chalk, Coal, Conglomerate, Shale, Gypsum, Rock Salt, 

500

Explain how recrystallization occurs.

When magma intrudes into existing rock, heat is transferred from the magma to the rock. Together with high pressure, this causes the minerals in the rock to recrystallize. This means that the atoms of the existing crystals get rearranged to form differently shaped crystals.

500
This is how rocks on the surface get pushed into the Earth's core.
What is pressure?
500

Explain the rock cycle?

What is the continuous process of how one rock can become any other type of rock?
