What rock can be changed by heat and pressure into metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary Rock
100
___ and ___ pressure result from one layer of rock on top of another. Sometimes temperature and pressure are great enough to ___ melt rock, forming magma. Sometimes pressure ___ mineral grains in rock without melting them. As pressure and temperature continue to increase over time, one type of rock can change into several different metamorphic rocks.
Heat and Pressure; melt; flattens;

What Rock forms in layers? Rock fragments, mineral grains, and bits of plants and animal remains moed by wind, water, ice or gravity are called ____?
Sedimentary; Sediments
100
What primary processes are involved in the rock cycle?
Pressure, Temperature, and Fragmentation

Some rocks have ___ formed around once-trapped air and other gases
holes

What rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rock?
Igneous Rock
200
What are the three types of Igneous Rocks? Tell me about each one
Basaltic, Granitic, and Andesitic Basaltic contains iron and magnesium but very little silica and its lava flows freely from a volcano. Granitic contain more silica and less iron and magnesium and its magma is thick and stiff. Andesitic have a more balanced composition of minerals and density than basaltic or granitic rocks. Its crystal size, large or small, can help identify an igneous rock and intrusive or extrusive.

What type of sedimentary rock is made from broken fragments of other rocks?
Detrital
200
What are three factors that can change rocks?
Heat, pressure, and hot, water-rich liquids
200
When water and other minerals move through open spaces between larger sediments, gluing them together, ______ occurs.
cementation
300
What rock can melt and cool to form igneous rock?
Metamorphic Rock
300
a mineral texture-mineral grains flatten and line up in parallel layers or bands. What is the name of this texture? What rock is associated with this texture?
Foliated; Metamorphic
300
Who recognized the rock cycle in 1788 by observing Siccar Point, Scotland
James Hutton

What does mineral crystal size tell about how rock formed?
Large crystals-magma cooled slowly; tiny crystals-magma cooled more rapidly; very few crystals-magma cooled very quickly

This rock is mostly found on the exposed surface of Earth
Sedimentary Rocks

What is the definition of Rock and Rock Cycle?
A rock is a mixture of minerals, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other material; A rock cycle is a model showing processes that create and change rock
400
A mineral texture- mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers. What is the name of this texture and what type of rock is associated with this texture?
Nonfoliated; Metamorphic
400
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, _______ occurs.
compaction

What is the definition for Conservation of Matter?
A rock cycle never destroys elements of rocks but merely redistributes them
500
What two ways are igneous rocks classified? What are the three magma types?
Intrusive (under the Earths surface); Extrusive (at or near the Earth's surface). Basaltic, Granitic, or Andesitic
500
This rock is changed by temperature, pressure, and hot fluids
Metamorphic Rocks

What igneous rocks are dark-colored and dense?
Basaltic

How was the rock cycle recognized?
James Hutton recognized it by observing Siccar Point, Scotland
