What are the three types of rocks?
What are Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic Rock
100
What does WED represent?
What is
Weathering
Erosion
Deposition
100
What is the definition of the rock cycle?
What is A series of processes in which rock changes from one type to another
100
What is magma?
What is liquid rock that is below the earth's surface
100
Characteristics of Sedimentary rock
What is
●Straight layers in the rock
●Dull in luster
●Grainy texture
●Smaller rocks inside
●Fossils can be seen
200
How are igneous rocks formed?
What is lava or magma cools from a liquid to a solid
200
Sort the definitions correctly. Using the vocabulary weathering, erosion, and deposition.
1. When sediment or rocks stop moving
2. The breaking down of rock due to wind, water, ice, etc.
3. When sediment and rocks move
1. Deposition
2. Weathering
3. Erosion
200
Does the rock cycle only go in one particular path?
What is No, it goes in many paths.
200
What is sediment
What is Pieces of soil and rock that go through weathering, erosion, and deposition.
200
Characteristics of an igneous rock
What is
●Crystals can be seen
●Shiny in luster
●Has Holes due to bubbling magma
●No layers
●Mix up of different minerals
300
How are sedimentary rocks formed?
What is formed when minerals or sediment are pushed down and cemented together
300
Everyone in your group must stand up and show the class what WED means by using your bodies.
If everyone does not participate, no points.
What is weathering they should be moving around in their spot, erosion they should be moving around, and deposition they should stop moving.
300
Where does the rock cycle start and stop?
What is the rock cycle can start anywhere and never ends!
300
What is melting and cooling?
What is when an object becomes a liquid due to heat and when an object looses heat.
300
What kind of rock is this and give two reasons why you know:
What is a sedimentary rock
-other rocks inside of it
-dull in luster
400
What is the most common way a metamorphic rock is formed?
What is through temperature/heat and pressure
400
What is this an example of:
Flood water pounding against a canyon wall and wearing it down
What is weathering
400
If I am an igneous rock and temperature and pressure get added to me and then WED occurs where in the rock cycle am I?
What is sediment
400
When talking about temperature and pressure, why is is better to use the word heat?
What is because it has to be high temperature in order for the rocks to form, not low temperature, the term temperature is too vague.

What kind of rock is this and give two reasons why you know:
What is an igneous rock
-shiny in luster
-crystals
-no layers
500
Can the three rocks turn into one another and can they turn back into themselves?
What is the three rocks can turn into one another with use of the rock cycle and they can turn back into themselves do to certain processes in the rock cycle.
500
Sort the examples correctly:
1. Layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean
2. Waves dropping sediment onto the beach
3. A river taking sediment from the top of the hill to the bottom
4. Hail wearing down the side of a hill
5. An ice glacier scraping the rocks on the side of a mountain eating away the sediment
1. Deposition
2. Deposition
3. Erosion
4. Weathering
5. Weathering
500
If I am a sedimentary rock and I go through temperature and pressure, then I melt, and then I cool. Where in the rock cycle am I now?
What is an igneous rock.
500
What is the difference between compaction and cementation?
What is compaction is when you push the sediment down into each other, cementation is those layers sticking together "like glue" to form layers and a nice rock.
500
What kind of rock do you think this metamorphic rock was before and why?
What is sedimentary rock
- layers
-dull in luster
