The process that shows the relationships between the rock groups
What is the Rock cycle
100
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock
What are the 3 major types of rocks
100
Magma forms when rocks melt deep beneath earths surface
What is the first stage of the rock
cycle?
100
Molten material that forms deep beneath Earths surface
What is Magma
100
Sedimentary rocks- undergo weathering
Metamorphic rocks-Sediments that are buried deep within the earth
Igneous rocks- formed by crystallization of molten magma
What is Sedimentary rocks?
What is Metamorphic rocks?
What is Igneous rocks?
200
Coal
Name a mineral that consists of organic material?
200
Rocks on the surface, that undergo weathering
What is Sedimentary
200
Any type of rock that is changed by heat, pressure, or fluids become a metamorphic rock
What is the 5th cycle of the rock cycle?
200
Magma that reaches the surface
What is Lava
300
Any soild mass of a mineral or mineral like matter that occurs natually as part of our planet
What is a Rock?
300
A rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma
What is Igneous rock?
300
Rocks at Earths surface are broken down into smaller pieces called sediments
What is the 3rd cycle of the rock cycle?
300
Igneous rocks form
What happens when magma cools or hardens?
400
Processes driven by heat from earths interior are responsible for forming both igneous and metamorphic rocks weathering and the movement of weatherd materials are external processes powered by the energy from the sun. External processes produce sedimentary rocks.
What powers the earths rock cycle?
400
Sediments that are buried deep within Earth
What is Metamorphic rock
400
When megma or lava cools and solidifies, igneous rocks form
What is the 2nd cycle of the rock cycle?
400
A process in which rocks are physically or chemically broken down by water, air and living things.
What is Weathering
500
Granite
Name a mineral that has a soild mixture of minerals?
500
Compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rock
What are sediments?
500
When sediments are compacted and cemented, sedimentary rocks form
What is the 4th cycle of the rock cycle?
500
*** Daily Double***
Lava you can see, it reached the earths surface
Magma you can't see, its molten material deep beneath the Earth
***Daily Double***
What is the difference between lava and magma?
