Rock type that often has a glassy, smooth surface; can have bubbles in it
What is igneous rock?
400
the movement of the Earth's crust through convection currents that occur in the mantle; powers the rock cycle and is responsible for volcano/mountain building

400
Type of property that does change the identity of the object through some type of reaction in order to test or observe it.
What is a chemical property?
500
The process of the continental crust rising due to the weathering and erosion of mountains; brings new rock from underground to the surface over time
What is uplifting?
500
the type of igneous rock that forms when magma reaches the Earth's surface through a volcano and cools quickly; has small crystals.
What is extrusive rock?
500
the type of weathering that involves physically breaking apart a rock into smaller pieces, such as by wind or water
What is mechanical weathering?
500
The pH number where the strongest base would be found
