100
Igneous rocks can be found around or in this type of mountain.
What is a volcano?
100
Sedimentary rock starts out as broken pieces of rock called this.
What is sediment?
100
These types of rocks can become metamorphic rocks.
What are sedimentary and igneous?
100
If a rock cycle starts with magma it must end with this.
What is magma?
100
The word GEOLOGY comes from "geo" meaning this.
What is earth?
200
Once magma leaves the volcano it is called this
What is lava?
200
Water freezing and thawing in rocks breaks them apart in this process.
What is weathering?
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. It is this SPECIFIC type of rock.
What is a igneous intrusive rock?
200
This kind of scientist studies about the earth and its layers.
What is a geologist?
300
Igneous rock that forms outside of a volcano is this type.
What is extrusive?
300
The process of pressing sediment into layers.
What is compaction?
300
Some metamorphic rock DOES NOT have layers, instead it has randomly placed crystals. This type of metamorphic rock is called
What is non-foliated?
300
This complete process causes sediment to become sedimentary rock.
What is deposition, compaction, and cementation?
300
This is a subject that studies maps, countries, and places on earth.
What is geography?
400
A specific black igneous rock that cools so quickly no crystals form is called this
What is obsidian?
400
Besides forming sedimentary rock, sediment is also important in forming this.
What is soil?
400
When metamorphic rock is very hot, but not hot enough to melt it does this.
What is bends?
400
This is process causes magma to become igneous rock.
What is cooling and hardening?
400
This is a type of heat energy specifically found deep within the earth.
What is geothermal?
500
This specific igneous rock is spewed from the volcano and cools quickly with air pockets.
What is scoria or pumice?
500
This sedimentary rock can be both organic or chemical.
What is limestone?
500
These are 2 examples of metamorphic rocks:
What is gneiss, schist, quartzite, marble, or slate?
500
This is why magma near the core rises when it gets hot.
What is less density?
500
Geologist love to explore caves and this is the word that means "the activity of exploring caves."
What is spelunking?
