These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.
What are sedimentary and igneous rocks?
100
These are the three types of rocks.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
100
This is an example of an igneous rock that has large crystals.
What is gabbro or granite?
200
Liquid or melted rock
What is molten rock?
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 a sedimentary rock over a period of time was buried DEEP into the crust where there are VERY hot temperatures. What rock did it turn into as it began to melt?
What is magma or molten rock that will cool to form igneous rock?
200
This is an example of a sedimentary rock formed from other rocks.
What is conglomerate?
300
Rock that is found inside a volcano made from magma.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
300
The process that causes layering of sediment to form.
What is deposition?
300
Limestone turns into this when heat and pressure are added.
What is marble?
300
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.
What is any type of rock?
300
This is a sedimentary rock formed from clay or mud that is compacted.
What is shale?
400
The reason why extrusive igneous rock has small crystals.
What is they cool down too quickly to form large crystals?
400
This is the pressing and gluing together of layers.
What is compaction and cementation?
400
This is why metamorphic rock is great for building.
What is durable and strong?
400
This is now mountains form and various rocks get back to the surface.
What is tectonic plate collision or convergent boundaries?
400
This is an example of a foliated metamorphic rock that transforms from shale.
What is slate?
500
It is the most common extrusive rock and it makes up most of the ocean's floor.
What is Basalt?
500
A sedimentary rock that is made from once living things.
What is an organic rock?
500
These are the two categories that metamorphic rocks can be put into.
What are foliated and nonfoliated?
500
This is how rocks on the surface get pushed or pressed deeper into the Earth's.
What is pressure?
500
These are two of the three minerals that form granite.
