Looking at an unidentified fossil, what features would you expect to see for a bird?
feathers, wings, beak, hollow or thin bones
This is molten rock found above the earth's surface.
What is lava?
The final 2 processes that turn sediments into sedimentary rocks.
What are compaction and cementation?
Why are the layers of a metamorphic rock wavy, while sedimentary rock has straight, flat layers?
Metamorphic rocks have wavy, not straight layers due to heat and pressure

sediments
What is Ms. Barrys favorite candy?

Kelp --> Sea urchin --> Sea otter --> Killer whale
Igneous rocks are categorized as _________ or _________, depending on where the molten rock cooled.
What are extrusive and intrusive.
What is the difference between weathering, erosion and deposition?
Weathering breaks rock down, erosion carries it away and deposition drops the sediment off.
Above or below the Earth's surface, where do metamorphic rock form?
Where is below the Earth's surface?
The processes that turn metamorphic rocks into sediments
Weathering and erosion
What is Ms. Barry's favorite book series?

Explain why plants and animals need sun light in order to survive (3 points you need to include)
Without sunlight there would be no photosynthesis in plants, without photosynthesis there would be no oxygen for us to breathe and respire to produce Carbon Dioxide, without CO2 there is no photosyntheis happening
__________ igneous rocks have larger crystals than the other kind of igneous rocks.
What is intrusive?
This type of sedimentary rocks form when dead plants from millions of years ago mineralizes. We use it to heat homes
What is coal or organic sedimentary rock?
When rocks crack due to the expansion of water
What is freeze/thaw weathering?
_________ and ____________ turn sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.
Heat and pressure
process where gas turns into liquid
give two reason we need to replace tree's after they are cut down
to provide food for animals
• to provide shelter or nesting sites or habitats for birds or animals
• trees absorb carbon dioxide
• trees produce oxygen
• the roots bind soil or prevent soil washing away
An example of this type of igneous rock is the Stone Mountain in Georgia. This happens when magma cools above the Earth's surface.
What is an extrusion igneous rock?
Fossils
What are the remains or impression of a prehistoric plant or animal embedded in rock called?
Shale is the parent rock of this metamorphic rock.
What is slate?
When metamorphic and igneous rocks go under melting they turn into__________
Magma
The study of rocks, their history and the processes that form and change them.
What is geology?
How is a fish adapted for swimming?
a streamlined body shape for reduced water resistance, fins for propulsion and maneuverability, and gills for extracting oxygen from the water
