Rock Processes Flashcards

Front

Classifications of a rock after the first process and after melting and slow cooling?

Back

1: metamorphic; 4: intrusive igneous

Front

Which processes cause igneous rock to become metamorphic rock?

Back

heat and pressure

Front

Which table accurately represents the cause and effect relationship between each of the two processes?

Back

Cause: slow cooling of magma | Effect: formation of intrusive igneous rock
Cause: intrusive igneous rock under heat and pressure | Effect: formation of metamorphic rock

Front

A substance is composed of organic material such as dead plants. To which category does the substance belong?

Back

soil

Front

What is the relationship between particle size and permeability?

Back

As particle size increases, the permeability increases.

Front

Rock type K was formed by deposition and cementation of weathered minerals. This rock then experienced significant heat and pressure to form rock type L, which subsequently melted and cooled slowly to form rock type M. What is the identity of rock type M?

Back

intrusive igneous

Front

Which soil profile is most suitable for plant growth?

Back

soil profile 4

Front

Processes causing granite to form schist.

Back

heat and pressure

Front

The diagram shows an experiment conducted to measure how quickly water moves through different sized particles. Small particles of marble and large particles of granite are put into two identical glass cylinders. Each cylinder contained equal volumes of the different sized particles. One cup of water was added to the top of each column while a student timed how long it took for the water to begin collecting in the pans under each wire screen. The student records the data in a table.

Back

The water flowed more quickly through the large particles because it took less time for the water to reach the pan as compared to the small particles

Front

What processes transform a sedimentary rock directly into a metamorphic rock?

Back

extreme heat and pressure
