Igneous Rocks 100 All igneous rocks are formed from?

Igneous Rocks 100 Cooled molten matter (not just lava or magma)

Igneous Rocks 200 When the molten matter erupts out of a volcano it is called?

Igneous Rocks 200 lava

Igneous Rocks 300 Igneous rocks that form from magma will usually have what characteristic?

Igneous Rocks 300 Large crystals

Igneous Rocks 400 Igneous rocks that form from lava have two names, they are

Igneous Rocks 400 Extrusive and volcanic

Igneous Rocks 500 Name the extrusive igneous rock that cooled so “quickly” that the air bubbles were trapped

Igneous Rocks 500 pumice

Sedimentary Rocks 100 Where on the earth are most sedimentary rocks found

Sedimentary Rocks 100 Near the surface

Sedimentary Rocks 200 Clastic/fragmental sedimentary rocks are named by

Sedimentary Rocks 200 Size of sediment

Sedimentary Rocks 300 Sedimentary rocks that contain organic parts or traces of what was once living are called

Sedimentary Rocks 300 bioclastic

Sedimentary Rocks 400 Sedimentary rocks that are formed when the sediment is left behind after the water has been “removed” are called

Sedimentary Rocks 400 Crystalline, evaporite or chemical

Sedimentary Rocks 500 Sediments are “put together” by either cementation or compaction, this “putting together” process is called

Sedimentary Rocks 500 lithification

Metamorphic Rocks 100 Metamorphic rocks are changed by what two possible processes

Metamorphic Rocks 100 Heat and/or pressure

Metamorphic Rocks 200 A metamorphic rock is a different rock that is changed, the original rock is referred to as

Metamorphic Rocks 200 A parent rock

Metamorphic Rocks 300 When a metamorphic rock looks as if it has wavy lines in it, it is said to have

Metamorphic Rocks 300 banding

Metamorphic Rocks 400 If the banding on a metamorphic rock is such that it looks as if the rock could be “pulled apart” like the pages of a book, it is said to be

Metamorphic Rocks 400 foliated

Metamorphic Rocks 500 Rocks that are metamorphisized near a plate boundary are said to have undergone what kind of metamorphism?

Metamorphic Rocks 500 contact

Rock Cycle 100 How does a sediment can turn into a sedimentary rock

Rock Cycle 100 Lithification (deposition, compaction, cementation)

Rock Cycle 200 How does ANY rock turn into a new metamorphic rock

Rock Cycle 200 Metamorphism (heat and/or pressure)

Rock Cycle 300 How does anything turn into magma?

Rock Cycle 300 melting

Rock Cycle 400 How does anything become a sediment?

Rock Cycle 400 (uplift) weathering and erosion

Rock Cycle 500 The shortest “path” for magma to become a sedimentary rock would be

3 2 1 Rock Cycle 500 1. Solidify as an igneous rock, 2. become a sediment (uplift, weathering and erosion), 3. lithification to become a sedimentary rock (deposition, burial, compaction and cementation)

Plate tectonics 100 The theory that describes the movement of the earth’s crust

Plate tectonics 100 Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics 200 When the plates of the earth’s crust rub and smash into/against one another, we feel the motion in the form of

Plate tectonics 200 Earthquakes

Plate tectonics 300 Earthquakes’ strength is measured on what scale

Plate tectonics 300 Richter scale

Plate tectonics 400 When plate movement cause a mountain of magma to form, it is called a

Plate tectonics 400 volcano

Plate tectonics 500 The location in the Pacific ocean where many volcanoes exist because of the plate boundaries, has been nicknamed

Plate tectonics 500 The Ring of Fire
