ROCKS
Formed and recycled by geologic process.__________________
Rock Cycle
The ability to make things move or change
Energy
The process by which all the rock formations of a region are pushed up due to plate motion________________
Uplift
Anything that has mass and takes up space:
Matter
The process of sediment being glued together
Cementation
Formed by the compacting and cementing of weathered/eroded rock particles (sediment)._________________
Sedimentary Rocks
The process of sediment being buried and pressed together_______________
Compaction
The process by which rock material moves under the Earth's outer layer and into the mantle due to plate motion_________________
Subduction
same matter is still present
A small part that is meant to show what the whole is like
Sample
Formed by the cooling and crystallizing of magma or lava._______________
Igneous Rock
The movement of sediment from one place to another, often caused by wind or flowing water________________
Erosion
when two tectonic plates move away from each other: they are called__________________
A divergent boundary
what moves rock formations?
Plate motion
A diagram that shows what the inside of something looks like
Cross section
Formed from other rocks that were changed by heat and pressure._____________
Metamorphic Rocks
The process of rock breaking down into smaller pieces due to wind or moving water_________________
Weathering
Where two plates are colliding.
Convergent boundaries
Everything made of rock: magma, sediment, and all rock types
Rock Materials
Hot liquid rock below the surface of the Earth
Magma
The Earth is dynamic so the rocks change over WHAT length of time?
Billions of years: 4.6 billion yrs
Where does the energy come from to begin the break down of rocks? ( 2 answers)
One is directly related to the cause the other is an indirect cause
Weathering - water cycle, atmosphere pressure changes leads to erosion
Sun
One of the very large sections of hard, solid rock that make up Earth's outer layer
Plates
A region of rock that formed together as a single rock type
Rock Formation
Hot liquid rock above the surface of the Earth
Lava
