Which is NOT a characteristic of extrusive igneous rocks?

• Cool on Earth's surface

• Cool slowly

• Have small grains

• Have small crystals

What are the three processes that make up the sedimentation process?

• Weathering, Erosion & Re-crystallization

• Deformation, Heat & Pressure

• Heat, Pressure & Deposition

• Weathering, Erosion & Deposition

Which is NOT a characteristic of intrusive igneous rocks?

• Cool below Earth's surface

• Cool slowly

• Have small grains

• Have large crystals

Slate is made from another rock called shale. Based on that information, what type of rock do you believe slate is and what process(es) formed it from shale?

• Energy in the form of heat from Earth's interior causes rocks to melt and then cool.

• Recrystallization and deformation create this metamorphic rock and forms from heat from Earth's core.

• Sedimentation (weathering/erosion/deposition) create this sedimentary rock due to heat energy from the sun.

What is the type of rock that forms from the deposition of rock fragments or remains of organisms?

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

• Minerals

Which is NOT a way that metamorphic rock is created?

• Bands of rock bend into wavy shapes.
