Igneous
What are the differences between magma and lava?
Magma - under the surface
Lava - above the surface
What are the three types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic, chemical and biogenic/organic
What are the two types of metamorphic rock?
Foliated and unfoliated
Where does the president of the united states live?
Explain convection currents
heat from core heats up the mantle, it rises and then cools down and falls
What are the two types of igneous rocks?
Extrusive and intrusive
What process turns sediment into sedimentary rock?
Compaction and cementation
What process forms metamorphic rock?
Extreme heat and pressure
Who wrote the play romeo and juliet?
William Shakespeare
List two pieces of evidence for continental drift.
- continents look like they fit together
- fossils match on separate continents
- landforms and rocks match on separate continents
Contrast how intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks are formed
Intrusive - magma cools slowly below the surface
Extrusive - lava cools quickly above the surface
What type of sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of weathered and eroded rocks that have been cemented together
Clastic
What types of rock can turn into metamorphic rock
Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic
what three countries start with F?
France, Finland, Fiji
Draw two oceanic plates diverging and an oceanic plate converging with a continental plate
Include landforms they create
Teacher discretion
What type of igneous rocks have smaller crystals? Why?
Extrusive igneous rocks because they cooled quickly so crystals haven't had time to form
what is the difference between weathering and erosion?
•weathering is the breakdown of rock while it remains in the same place
•erosion is the wearing away and removal of rock
How does metamorphic rock turn into igneous rock?
Melted to form magma
Magma cools to form igneous rock
List all the states and territories of Australia and list their capital cities

Queensland – Brisbane
Western Australia – Perth
South Australia – Adelaide
Tasmania – Hobart

Northern Territory– Darwin
List the layers from outermost to innermost and state whether they are solid or liquid
Crust - solid
Mantle - solid but lithosphere behaves a bit like a liquid (flows)
Outer core - liquid
Inner core - solid
What type of igneous rock have larger crystals? Why?
Intrusive igneous rocks because they cool slowly so have more time for the crystals to form
Coal is a biogenic rock - how are biogenic rocks made?
form when dead plant matter or animal remains accumulate and are cemented together
What is the difference between slate and marble?
Slate is foliated and marble is unfoliated
What is the only living structure that can be seen from space?
The Great Barrier Reef
