"Grab Bag"
100
A naturally occurring solid mass of different minerals.
What is a rock
100
Igneous rocks form directly from this material
What is lava or magma
100
This process results in conglomerate rock
What is compaction and cementation
100
Most metamorphic rocks form where
What is deep with-in the earth (3-8 km)
100
Which of the following is not considered a rock; lava, pumice, sandstone, coal
What is lava
200
The type of rock that forms from cooling magma.
What is an igneous rock
200
Igneous rocks that form below ground from magma
What is intrusive igneous rock
200
According to Table 2, on page 79, the light colored rock composed of very fine crystalline quartz
What is chert
200
The type of metamorphism that occurs when magma forces its way up into small areas of I or S rock
What is contact metamorphism
200
Which of the following is not one of the three main types of rock; igneous, metamorphic, magma, sedimentary
What is magma
300
The process that turns sediments into sedimentary rock.
What is compaction and cementation
300
Igneous rocks that form above ground from lava
What is extrusive ignesous rock
300
According to table 2, page 79, the rock formed from coarse (over 2mm) angular pebble fragments
What is breccia
300
The three main agents of metamorphism
What is heat, pressure, hydrothermal solutions
300
All of the energy that drives the rock cycle comes from
What is the earths interior (core) and the sun
400
The process that eventually turns any rock type into sediments.
What is weathering and erosion
400
The type of texture that forms from lava cooling uber-quickly.
What is glassy texture
400
Sedimentary rocks with ripple marks in them most likely formed in what type of environment
What is beach or stream bed
400
The foliated metamorphic rock that forms when the sedimentary rock shale is subjected to heat and pressure
What is slate
400
The type of rocks formed only by processes powered by the sun
What is sedimentary
500
The process that can turn igneous or sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock
What is heat and pressure
500
As the rate of cooling decreases (cools slower), this happens to the size of the crystals in the formed rock.
What is increase in size
500
The correct order of all the main processes that result in sedimentary rock
What is weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, & cementation
500
The nonfoliated metamorphic rock that forms when the sedimentary rock limestone is subjected to heat and pressure
What is marble
500
The energy source that drives the formation of only igneous and metamorphic rock
What is the earth's interior (core)
