What are the three main types of rocks based on how they form?

• Sedimentary Rock, Igneous Rock, Metamorphic Rock

• Granite, Basalt, Limestone

• Sandstone, Shale, Slate

• Quartzite, Marble, Gneiss

What event is associated with Igneous Rock?

• Oceanic plate pushes under the continental plate of North America. Volcanoes form.

• Sedimentary layers compress over time.

• Metamorphic rocks are formed under heat and pressure.

• Erosion and weathering break down rocks.

What process leads to the formation of metamorphic rocks?

• Compaction and cementation

• Weathering and erosion

• Cooling of magma

• Heat and pressure

• ______ are made up of a crystal structure and can be left behind when bodies of water evaporate

• Minerals

• Fossils

• Rocks

• Volcanoes

• • Environment: 

    • Multiple plate collisions continue

    • Continued oceanic and continental plate collisions. Pangea forms

  • Event:

    • Sedimentary Rock undergo high pressure and temperature

Mountains are formed as land is pushed up. Rocks experience high pressure and temperature.

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

Dr. Reilly found a fossil in South Carolina. Dr. Root found the same fossil in a different continent. How does this help scientist study how animals got to South Carolina?

• By finding rock and mineral layers of various continents

• Earthquakes

• The animals went across the ocean

• The boundaries shifted in South Carolina which separated SC and NC.

What do we call an area where more then two plates meet and interact with each other?

• plate boundaries

• hot spots

• continental drift

• subduction

• Match the Environment and Event for the following rock:

• Environment: 

  • Multiple plate collisions continue. Continued oceanic and continental plate collisions. Pangea forms

  • Event:

    • Sedimentary Rock undergo high pressure and temperature

Mountains are formed as land is pushed up. Rocks experience high pressure and temperature.

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

Sedimentary Rocks are mainly formed from ______ and ______.

• Weathering and Depletion

• Deposition and Erosion

• Heat and Pressure

• Volcanic Eruptions and Magma

Which environment is associated with Sedimentary Rock?

• Shallow seas along North America, Pangea breaks apart

• Deep ocean trenches

• Volcanic islands

• Mountainous regions
