What type of rocks are made of "sediments" of soil and other minerals?
What are Sedimentary Rocks?
What type of rocks are made of magma from under the Earth's surface?
What are Igneous Rocks?
What types of rocks are made from change or "morph"ing of other rocks?
What are Metamorphic Rocks?
What process is necessary to change a sedimentary rock to a metamorphic rock?
What is heat and/or pressure?
How does magma become igneous rock?
What is solidification?
What is a natural occurrence in which Earth surface can be displaced?
What is erosion?
What is the process of wearing or being worn by long exposure to the atmosphere?
What is weathering?
How is magma formed?
What is from melting rock?
What protect about 10 percent of coastlines worldwide? When hurricanes and storms make landfall, these strands islands absorb much of their force, reducing wave energy and protecting inland areas.
What are Barrier Islands?
What is also known as freezing, is a phase change of matter that results in the production of a solid?
What is Solidification?
What is the geological process in which sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or land mass?
What is deposition?
What is in geology, decrease of the volume of a fixed mass of sediment from any cause, commonly from continual sediment deposition at a particular site?
What is Compaction?
What is, in geology, hardening and welding of clastic sediments (those formed from preexisting rock fragments) by the precipitation of mineral matter in the pore spaces. It is the last stage in the formation of a sedimentary rock?
What is Cementation?
Who is the meanest 6th Grade Science and Social Studies Teacher at Perrin Woods Elementary School?
Who is Mr. Ryan?
What type of rocks structures include features like bedding, ripple marks, fossil tracks and trails, and mud cracks?
What are Sedimentary Rocks?
What structure is normally taken to comprise the mutual relationships of mineral or mineral-glass aggregates that have contrasting textures, along with layering, fractures, and other larger-scale features that transect or bound such aggregates?
What are Igneous Rocks?
What are often intimately related to large-scale structural features of Earth. Such features include folds and faults with a wide variety of geometries?
What are Metamorphic Rocks?
What rocks crystallize below Earth's surface, and the slow cooling that occurs there allows large crystals to form?
What are Intrusive Igneous Rocks?
What erupt onto the surface, where they cool quickly to form small crystals? Some cool so quickly that they form an amorphous glass.
What are Extrusive Igneous Rocks?
What is the science that deals with the earth's physical structure and substance, its' history, and the processes that act on it?
What is Geology?
