Understanding Rocks & the Rock Cycle
This is why they call the rock cycle a "cycle".
What is it is never-ending ?
This is an elevated , level or nearly level land feature often found near large mountain ranges.
What is a plateau?
This is a trace or the remains of a once living thing.
What is a fossil?
The formation of a mountain range is an example of this.
What is metamorphic change over a large area?
Ariel used this to comb her hair.
What is a fork?
The most common type of rock at earth's surface is this.
What is sedimentary?
Lava that is low in silica tends to do this.
What is flow easily?
Coal is made up of the remains of these.
What are plants?
A rock sample with parallel bands of minerals that formed under high pressure is an example of this.
What is a foliated metamorphic rock?
He is the son of Han Solo.
Who is Ben Solo/ Kylo Ren?
The rock "cycle" has no this.
What is beginning or end?
Magma inside a volcano slowly cooled into rock. Over time, wind & water wore away the weaker rock surrounding it. The landform left at earth's surface is made of this.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
This is an example of how sedimentary rock can give information about past conditions.
What is through preserved mud cracks?
This type of rock is most likely to be a metamorphic rock's parent.
What is any type of rock?
This is the purple bear's name in Toy Story 3.
What is Lotso?
Limestone can form when water evaporates & leaves behind the minerals that form it. Limestone is this type of rock.
What is sedimentary?
Igneous rocks that have high amounts of silica are usually this.
What is light in color?
These are the 3 ways groups of sedimentary rocks form.
What is:
- rock particles get build up in layers & get pressed together
- shell or plant remains build up in layers & get pressed together
- dissolved minerals reform from water?
This is how new minerals grow in existing rocks.
What is heat & pressure break the bonds, the atoms then join together differently as new bonds form during recrystallization?
This is the name of the fat mouse in Cinderella.
What is Gus Gus?
Compare the distribution of rock types at Earth's surface to their distribution in the entire crust.
What is most of the rocks at earth's surface are sedimentary, but the crust as a whole is almost entirely igneous & metamorphic rocks?
In looking at an igneous rock's texture, small mineral crystals indicate this.
What is it is a surface rock that had a quick cooling time?
This is coal made out of dead leaves, bark and other wood.
What is fossil fuel?
This is the process by which a rock's structure or mineral make-up is changed by pressure and/or heat.
What is metamorphism?
This is how Nemo escaped from the tank.
What is he stopped the filter, the tank got messy, the guy takes the fish out in bags and he rolls into the ocean through the rinse sink?
