BONUS
100
Forms when magma cools INSIDE the Earth.
What is INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK?
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
Forms when HEAT and PRESSURE causes older rocks to change into new types of rocks.
What is METAMORPHIC ROCK?
200
Molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface
What is 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
Forms when molten rock cools and becomes solid.
What is a IGNEOUS ROCK?
200
Forms in Extrusive igneous rock when lava cools quickly
What is SMALL CRYSTALS?
300
Molten rock inside the Earth
What is MAGMA?
300
The process of compaction and cementation is also known as this.
What is LITHIFICATION?
300
Crystals can grow larger. Atoms combine in different ways to form new minerals in place of older ones…new crystal structures.
What is RECRYSTALLIZATION?
300
A natural formed solid that is usually made up of one or more types of minerals.
What is ROCK?
300
Forms in Intrusive igneous rock when magma cools slowly
What is LARGE CRYSTALS?
400
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types.
What are INTRUSIVE and EXTRUSIVE rocks?
400
Small particles of sediment may be formed into rock by pressure alone (one layer on top of another pressing down over time…
What is COMPACTION?
400
An arrangement of minerals in flat or wavy parallel bands…develops when minerals flatten out or line up in bands.
What is Foliation?
400
Set of natural processes that form, change, break down, and re-form rocks.
What is ROCK CYCLE?
400
Two or more elements combined. ex. H2O, CO2, NaCl, etc.
What is a COMPOUND?
500
Forms when lava cools on the Earth’s surface.
What is EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK
500
In other sedimentary rocks the particles are held together by minerals that have crystallized between them, acting as....
What is a CEMENTATION?
500
Metamorphic rocks made mainly of one type of mineral…different minerals cannot separate and line up in layers.
What is Non-FOLIATED ROCKS?
500
Forms when pieces of older rocks, plants, and other loose material gets pressed or cemented together…layers.
What is SEDIMENTARY ROCK?
500
Sedimentary rocks get there name from this, the substance they are made of.
