Rock Cycle
100
A naturally occurring usually inorganic solid that has a definite crystalline structure and chemical composition.
What is a mineral?
100
Any place where gas, ash, or melted rock come out of the ground.
What is volcanos?
100
The principle states that geological processes that happened in the past can be explained by current geological processes.
What is uniformitarianism?
100
Are ground movements that occur when blocks of rock in Earth move suddenly and release energy.
What is earthquakes?
100
The process by which water, wind, ice, and changes in temperature break down rock.
What is weathering?
200
Are pure substances that can't be broken down into simpler substances by by ordinary chemical means.
What is elements?
200
The magma that has reached Earth's surface.
What is lava?
200
The trace or remains of an organism that lived long ago.
What is fossils?
200
A place along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.
What is focus?
200
Forms when magma or lava cools and hardens to become solid.
What is igneous rock?
300
Are the building blocks of matter.
What is atoms?
300
The melted rock
What is magma
300
A fossilised structure that formed in sedimentary rock by animal activity on or in sot sediment.
What is trace fossils?
300
Directly above the focus.
What is epicenter?
300
The series of processes in which rock changes from one type to another.
What is rock cycle?
400
A solid geometric form that results form a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules.
What is crystal?
400
A location where a column of extremely hot mantle rock, called mantle plume rises through the asthenosphere.
What is hotspot?
400
The weather conditions in an area over long periods of time.
What is climate?
400
A break in Earth's crust along which blocks of rock move.
What is fault?
400
The rising of regions of the crust to higher elevations.
What is uplift?
500
Is a substance made up of molecules of two or more elements.
What is compound?
500
The opening of a volcano.
What is vent?
500
A long cylinder of ice.
What is ice core?
500
The processes by which rock becomes deformed and changes due to stress.
What is deformation?
500
The sinking of regions of the crust to lower elevations.
What is subsidence?
