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 two things are required for metamorphic rock to form.

What is heat and pressure

100

What is the thinnest layer of Earth's interior? 

What is the crust

100

Part of the crust that includes the ocean floor, which is thin, dense, and mostly made of basalt

What is oceanic crust

200
Liquid rocks or minerals may be called _______
What is molten rock?
200

This causes sedimentary rock to form

What is pressure over time

200

This metamorphic rock forms from limestone and is often used in statues and buildings.

What is marble

200

Which two layers of Earth's interior are made of molten or partially molten rock? 

What is the mantle and outer core? 

200

What is contential crust? 

Part of the crust that includes lan,d which is thick, less dense, and mostly made of granite 

300
Rock that is found inside a volcano is most likely make from this type of molten rock.
What is magma?
300

Visible layers can be seen in some sedimentary rocks. These layers are also called what? 

What strata 

300

Provide 2 examples of metamorphic rock. 

What is 

  • Slate

  • Marble

  • Schist

  • Gneiss

300

How do pressure and temperature change as you dive deeper into Earth's interior?  

What is they both increase 

300

A rock sample contains tiny pieces of other rocks that are cemented together

What is sedimentary rock

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

This can be found within sedimentary rock 

What are fossils of dead plants and animals 

400

These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.

What are sedimentary, igneous, and most metamorphic rocks?

400

Where is the lithosphere located? 

What is the outer part of the Earth, including the crust and the upper part of the mantle. 

400

What is the asthenosphere? 

The layer under the lithosphere that flows very slowly, allowing tectonic plates to move on top of it

500

Explain crystal development in intrusive and extrusive igneous rock.

Intrusive: Magma cools slowly to form larger crystals.

Extrusive: Lava cools rapidly and forms small crystals and sometimes even no crystals at all

500

These are two ways to physically identify sedimentary rock

1 . Visible layers in the rocks 

2. Seeing individual sediments that make up the rock

500

Metamorphic rocks are different from igneous rocks because they do NOT go through this process.

What is melting

500

How is the lithosphere divided? 

HINT: What two type of plates? 

What are oceanic and continental plates.

500

The breaking down of rock that creates sediment.

What is weathering
