The Basics
What is rock?
What is matter?
The process that creates sediments.
This is the boundary where a sedimentary rock can transform into a metamorphic rock.
What is convergent plate boundary?
What is a rock formation?
These are the large, always moving sections that cover the surface of Earth.
What are the plates?
The process by which all rock formations of a region are pushed up due to plate motion.
What is uplift?
The steps that form an igneous rock.
What is magma rising, cooling, and hardening?
This is the landform created where a intrusive igneous rock can be exposed to weathering.
What is a mountain?
The movement of sediment from one place to another.
What is erosion?
This is the name for the continuous cycling of rocks throughout Earth's history.
What is the Rock Cycle?
What is sample?
What is energy from Earth's interior?
This is the location where weathering takes place on Earth.
What is surface(outer layer)?
The process by which rock material moves under Earth's outer layer and into the mantle.
What is subduction?
This is the material required in order to create a sedimentary rock.
The ability to make things move or change.
What is energy?
What are weathering and erosion?
The material created when a plate is driven deep into Earth's mantle.
What is magma?
The rock type formed under intense heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic rock?
This is the material required to make an igneous rock that forms under Earth's surface.
What is magma?
The process of sediment being glued together.
What is cementation?
The rock type formed from compaction and cementation.
What is sedimentary rock?
This is the process driven by energy from Earth's interior that causes an igneous rock that formed under the surface to become sediments.
The process of rock breaking down into smaller pieces due to wind or water.
What is weathering?
