Sedimentary Rocks
What are the small particles that make up sedimentary rocks called?
Sediments
How are metamorphic rocks formed?
Changing from sedimentary or igneous rock by having slight heat or pressure applied to them.
How are igneous rocks formed?
The cooling of magma or lava
Materials that come from the weathering of rock and is carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice
Sediments
During our rock cycle lab, how did we show weathering and erosion with our Starbursts?
Cutting them into pieces
What breaks down rocks into small pieces?
Weathering/erosion
What are the layers of different rock called in metamorphic rock?
Foliation
What object would you most likely find an igneous rock close to?
Volcano
A process where rocks change over time from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic.
Rock Cycle
What rock type would you find fossils in?
Sedimentary Rock
What are the particles typically held together with?
Minerals
What are two examples of metamorphic rock?
Mica, marble, quartzite, gneiss,
Do extrusive igneous rocks have a short or long cooling time?
Short
Mixture of molten or semimolten rock that can be found UNDERNEATH the surface of the earth.
Magma
When the Starburst was on the hot plate bubbling, what did that represent?
Lava/magma
What are fossils made of?
Shells, bones, or plant remains
false
Which type of igneous rock has a long cooling time and large crystals?
Intrusive igneous rock
A process where a solid forms where atoms are highly organized in a crystal
Crystallizing
When the Starburst cooled off from being melted on the hot plate, what kind of rock did it form?
Igneous rock
Give two examples of sedimentary rock
Clay, silt, coal, fossils, limestone, sandstone
What are the original sedimentary or igneous rock called bbefore they change to metamorphic rock?
Parent Rock
Give two examples of igenous rock
Granite, gabbro, pumice, basalt, obsidian
A natural fuel (like coal or gas) that are the reamins of organisms that lived a long time ago
Fossil Fuels
What is the difference between intrusive igneous rock and extrusive igneous rock?
Intrusive is formed inside the earth with slower cooling times and extrusive is formed on the surface with shorter cooling times.
