Sedimentary Rock
Rock Cycle
Igneous Rocks
Metamorphic Rocks
100
This is an inorganic, solid, nonrenewable resource that is found in the Earth's Crust.
What is a Mineral?
100
These are the two sub-categories of Sedimentary Rocks.
What are Clastic and Non-Clastic?
100
These are solid materials that form in the Earth's Crust and are composed of minerals, mineraloids, and/or organic matter.
What are Rocks?
100
These are subcategories of Igneous Rocks.
What are Intrusive and Extrusive?
100
These are subcategories of Metamorohic Rocks.
What are Foliated and Non-Foliated?
200
A Silicate must contain this element.
What is Silicon?
200
This is the name for the material that is produced by erosion.
What are sediments?
200
When Heat and Pressure are applied to a rock, this type of rock is formed.
What is a Metamorphic Rock?
200
This is the horizontal Igneous Intrusion seen below, Label F:
What is a Sill?
200
These are the two types of Metamorphisms.
What are Contact and Regional?
300
This planet is known for its rusty colored surface.
What is Mars?
300
Sedimentary Rocks are known for this unique property.
What is they are the only rock type to contain fossils?
300
This process produces sediments needed to form some Sedimentary Rocks.
What is erosion?
300
This is the difference between Magma and Lava.
What is the location with respect to Earth's Surface?
300
This Metamorphism occurs in the presence of magma.
What is a Contact Metamorphism?
400
This is the leading theory on the formation of the Moon through a collision with a Mars sized object known as Theia?
What is the Great Impact Theory?
400
These are an example of ripple lines. These are formed by this process.
What are water and/or wind erosion?
400
A rock must undergo this process before it can become an Igneous Rock.
What is melting?
400
This large structure is made of multiple Plutons:
Label B
What is a Batholith?
400
Instead of melting, a rock is heated up until the point that it can be this instead in order to become a Metamorphic Rock.
What is Molded?
500
This step in the Scientific Method is sometimes called an "educated guess".
What is a Hypothesis?
500
Sedimentary Rocks are formed near bodies of water through these two processes.
What are compaction and cementation, and evaporation and precipitation?
500
This is the main difference in the formation of Metamorphic Rocks and Sedimentary Rocks.
What is the presence of intense heat?
500
These subcategories of Igneous Rock is independent of where it forms and is based on it composition.
What are Mafic and Felsic?
500
This word is used to reference a Metamorphic Rock that has been "folded".
What is Foliated?
