Ingenious Igneous
This is molten rock found below the earth's surface.
What is magma?
The tiny fragments of rock that form sedimentary rocks.
What is sediment?
These are the 2 conditions that cause a metamorphic rock to form
What are heat and pressure?
This rock was used in eye surgery because it is so sharp.
What is obsidian?
The movement of sediment by wind, water, gravity etc.
What is Erosion?
This is molten rock found above the earth's surface.
What is lava?

This is a diagram of rocks and the processes that create them
What is the rock cycle?
Metamorphic rock that changes into igneous rock must undergo the process of
What is melting?
Igneous rocks are categorized as _________ or _________, depending on where the molten rock cooled.
What are extrusive and intrusive.
This occurs when sediments are deposited on the ground or sink to the bottom of a river, lake or ocean
What is deposition?
The minerals in this type of metamorphic rock form bands or layers, such as in slate and gneiss.
What is foliated?
This occurs as water evaporates and minerals form between sediment grains. The minerals act as a glue to keep the sediments bound together.
What is cementation?
What must occur before erosion?
What is weathering?
Igneous rocks make up most of Earth's ________ .
What is crust?
The movement of sediments from one location to another is called....
What is erosion?
These types of metamorphic rock have no banding on them
What is nonfoliated?
An igneous rock can turn into this/these type(s) of rock.

What are clastic, chemical, organic
Metamorphic rocks are grouped by characteristics differences in ___________, meaning the sizes, shapes and positions of the grains a rock is made of.
What is texture?
Give one example of metamorphic rock
What are slate, gneiss, marble, quartzite?
Igneous, metamorphic and even sedimentary rocks undergo this process to form sedimentary rocks
What is weathering?
