ROCKS AND ROCK CYCLE

Front

What are the two subtypes of metamorphic rocks?

Back

Foliated and Non-foliated.

Front

True or False: Igneous rocks can only turn into metamorphic rocks.

Back

False. Igneous rocks can also turn into sedimentary rocks.

Front

What type of rock is formed from another type of rock that was heated and compressed over time?

Back

Metamorphic rock.

Front

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

Back

Sedimentary rocks are formed by smaller pieces of rock that settle at the bottom of lakes or oceans over time.

Front

What type of metamorphic rock can shale transform into by heat and pressure?

Back

Foliated metamorphic rock.

Front

What is the rock cycle?

Back

The rock cycle is the continuous process of rock formation, breakdown, and reformation.

Front

What are igneous rocks?

Back

Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma or lava).

Front

What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?

Back

Intrusive igneous rocks form inside the Earth, while extrusive igneous rocks form on the surface.

Front

What is sediment?

Back

Sediment is small particles of rock, minerals, and organic material that accumulate over time.

Front

What is the process of metamorphism?

Back

Metamorphism is the process by which existing rocks are changed by heat, pressure, and mineral changes.
