Ignis
These types of igneous rocks form slowly in magma chambers beneath the surface of earth (choose intrusive or extrusive).
What is intrusive?
True or False - Only sedimentary rocks can contain fossils.
What is true?
These are the two processes that create metamorphic rock.
What are heat and pressure?
This rock is made of compacted layers and sand particles.
What is sandstone?
This college bleeds purple and is the university Mr. McKeon attended.
What is James Madision University? (JMU)
These two molecules create mafic igneous rock compositions.
What are iron and magnesium?
This is the process by which all sedimentary rocks form over 1,000's of years (choose weathering and eroding or compacting and cementing).
What is compacting and cementing?
This is another name for a protolith.
What is parent rock?
This intrusive, coarse grained, and felsic igneous rock makes a beautiful countertop, and goes by the name of...
What is granite?
Mr. McKeon's dogs are named after these sushi related condiments and utensils.
Who are Chopstick and Wasabi? (Chopsabi)
These igneous rocks have small crystals on the surface, or none at all due to their fast cooling (name the grain size).
What is fine grained?
These sedimentary rocks form due to evaporation, and include examples like rock salt.
What is chemical? (evaporite)
Marble has a recrystallized surface with no banded layers, making it this type of metamorphic rock.
What is non-foliated?
This rock is known as volcanic glass due to its rapid cooling and silica rich composition.
What is obsidian?
This is the approximate time of day Mr. McKeon wakes up (even on weekends).
What is 4am?
This type of underwater volcano would form basalt, an iron rich extrusive igneous rock along the seafloor.
What is mid ocean ridge?
Coal is a rock made of prehistoric plants and animals, which makes it this type of sedimentary rock.
What is organic?
Metamorphic rocks come from these rocks.
What are parent rocks?
This sedimentary rock is made of compacted calcium carbonate sediment, such as coral reef or seashell fragments, and often containts fossils.
What is fossil limestone?
In 2015, Mr. McKeon met his wife on this holiday, and they've been inseperable since.
What is Halloween?
Obsidian is often black in color, yet it is categorized as a felsive rock due to this molecule.
What is silica? (SiO2)
This is the term used to describe how sediments are deposited from land into the ocean.
What is deposition?
With a parent rock of granite, this foliated metamorphic rock is known for its stripped pattern.
What is gneiss?
Gravel and sand sized particles that have been compacted together make up this clastic sedimentary rock.
What is conglomerate?
This is Mr. McKeon's favorite coffee order.
