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 "fire" in Latin.

What is Igneous?

200

Liquid rocks may be called _______

What is magma or lava?

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 down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.

What is an 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 make from this type of molten rock.

What is magma?

300

The processes that sediments must go through to form a sedimentary rock.

What are compaction and cementation?

300

What happens when a metamorphic rock is exposed to extreme heat and pressure?

It forms a new, different metamorphic rock

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.

What are intrusive and extrusive rocks?

400

Explain the difference between weathering and erosion.

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into sediment and erosion is the movement of that sediment.

400
This is why metamorphic rock is great for building.
What is durable and strong?

What is sediment?

500

Name one intrusive and one extrusive igneous rock.

What are granite and obsidian?

500

Explain the processes that form sedimentary rocks.

Weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation

500

Explain the processes that form metamorphic rocks and the energy source that powers these processes.

What are heat and pressure? What is Earth's internal heat?

500
What are the two energy sources that power the rock cycle?

Earth's internal heat and solar energy

500

Define deposition.

The laying down of sediment that occurs when the transporting medium loses energy.
