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 the types of 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 energy causes the wind, which is used in erosion.
What is solar?
200
Molten rock found under the Earth's crust is called this.
What is magma?
200
This word means 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 intrusive igneous rock?
200
This type of energy helps in compaction.
What is gravity?
300
This type of igneous rock forms small crystals.
What is extrusive?
300
Sedimentary rocks are most likely to contain these remains of living things.
What are fossils?
300
Sandstone (sedimentary) must go through this to become Quartzite (metamorphic).
What is heat and pressure?
300
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.
What is any type of rock?
300
This type of energy comes from the core of the Earth.
What is heat or thermal energy?
400
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types.
What are intrusive and extrusive rocks?
400
These two processes are needed form sedimentary rocks?
What are compaction and cementation?
400
The heat and pressure needed to create a metamorphic rock causes the rock to change this
What is composition?
400
This is the process that forms igneous rocks.
What is melting and cooling?
400
These three things are what we use to classify rocks.
What is color, texture, and composition?
500
This type of igneous rocks are made when magma comes out of the Earth to cool.
What is extrusive?
500
This type of rock is formed from large pebbles that have been cemented together by small pieces of sand
What is a conglomerate?
500
These are the two categories that metamorphic rocks can be put into.
What are foliated and nonfoliated?
500
This is what has to happen for a metamorphic rock to become a sedimentary rock.
What is weathering and erosion?
500
One way that rock can be pushed down into the Earth is through this tectonic boundary.
What is a subduction zone?
