Ignorant Igneous
This is molten rock found below the earth's surface.
What is magma?
These are often found in sedimentary rocks.
What are fossils?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by this.
What is heat and pressure?
When sediments go under compacting and cementing processes they become this.
What are sedimentary rocks.
In the crayon lab this is when we observed sediments.
What is shaving the crayons?
These are the teachers at the school who rock the most.
Who are Mr. Tanner and Ms. Sarah?
This is molten rock found above the earth's surface.
What is lava?
The processes that turn sediments into sedimentary rocks?
What are compaction and cementation?
Metamorphic rocks are often found near these due to the immense amount of pressure they produce.
What are tectonic plates?
When igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks go under weathering and eroding they become this.

Tiny pieces of rock, sand and gravel are examples of this.
What is sediment?
metamorphic rock with bands or layers
What is foliated?
This processes turns metamorphic rocks into sediments.
What is weathering and eroding?
The amount of matter in a given volume
What is density?
This mineral was the focal point of mining at Britannia Mines.
What is copper?
These igneous rocks have larger crystals than the other kind of igneous rocks.
What is intrusive?
This type of sedimentary rocks form when dead plants from millions of years ago mineralizes. We use it to heat homes or fire up the grill!
What is coal or organic sedimentary rock?
Limestone is the parent rock of this metamorphic rock.
What is marble?
This process brings rocks up from under the earths crust to create mountains.
What is uplift.
This is the scale used to measure the hardness of minerals.
What is Moh's Hardness Scale ?
This mineral is often thought be gold but is in fact a fake!
What is Pyrite?
This unique igneous rock is so light that it can float on water.
What is pumice?
Type of sedimentary rock is from evaporated solutions
What is chemical?
This metamorphic rock is often used in roofing.
What is slate?
When metamorphic and igneous rocks go under melting they turn into this.
What is magma?
This was the only mineral to react with vinegar due to it containing calcium.
What is calcite?
Mr. Tanner loves saying the name of this rock!
What is Gabbro?
