Rock cycle has a beginning and an end.
There are three rock types.
Both statements True
Both statements False
First statement True. Second Statement False
First statement False. Second Statement True
The three rock types
(all lower case. answer format: nameofrock, nameofrock, nameofrock)
(a)
Rocks can be formed by being erupted from volcanoes or compacted from sand. Igneous rocks are formed by the compaction and cementing together of sediments. These rocks can be formed from erosion and weathering of other rocks
Both statements True
Both statements False
First statement True. Second statement False
First statement False. Second statement True
Igneous rock are composed of crystals or is glassy. It is also formed from magma
Both statements True
Both statements False
First statement True. Second statement False
First statement False. Second statement True
Igneous rocks can also be made a couple of different ways: Intrusive and Extrusive
True
False
Maybe
Type of igneous rocks that are formed inside of the earth.
Intrusive/plutonic
Semintrusive
Extrusive/volcanic
Sediment
Type of Igneous rocks that are formed outside or on top of Earth’s crust.
Intrusive/plutonic
Semintrusive
Extrusive/volcanic
Sediment
formed by the compaction and cementing together of sediments. These rocks can be formed from erosion and weathering of other rocks
Igneous rocks
Sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks
Volcanic rocks
Three types of sedimentary rocks
(answer in lower case. answer format: rocktype, rocktype, rocktype)
(a)
Type of sedimentary rock formed from chemical precipitation. Examples: limestone, halite, flint
Clastic
Organic
Chemical
Foliated
Type of Sedimentary rock formed from biological materials that are compressed into rock. Examples: coal, from plants, shells etc.
Clastic
Organic
Chemical
Foliated
Type of Sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rock. Example: sandstone
Clastic
Organic
Chemical
Foliated
rocks that have been changed from their
original form by immense heat or pressure
Igneous rocks
Sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks
mwamwa
flat or elongated minerals is put under immense pressure, the minerals line up in layers
Metamorphic: Foliated
Metamorphic: Nonfoliated
Igneous:
Foliated
Sedimentary: Nonfoliated
do not contain the minerals that tend to line up under pressure and thus do not have the layered appearance
Metamorphic:
Foliated
Sedimentary:
Nonfoliated
Igneous:
Foliated
Metamorphic: Nonfoliated
There are three main processes of the Rock cycle.
One of which is Cooling and erosion.
Both statements True
Both statements False
First statement True. Second statement False
First statement False. Second statement True
In cooling and cystallization, deep within the earth, temperatures get hot enough to create magma. Thus as magma cools, crystals grow, forming igneous rocks
Both statements True
Both statements False
First statement True. Second statement False
First statement False. Second statement True
Weathering & Erosion: Rocks break down by the process called ________
Crumbling
Erosion
Weathering
Erosion
_________ involves moving water, wind, and glaciers then carry these pieces from one place to another.
Weathering
Erosion
Sedimentation
Crumbling
Means "to change form"
Transmutation
Veganism
Sedimentarism
Metamorphism
A rock undergoes metamorphism if it is exposed to extreme heat and pressure within the mantle.
True
False
maybe
A rock undergoes metamorphism if it is exposed to extreme heat and pressure within the crust
True
False
maybe
With metamorphism, the rock does not melt all the way. The rock changes due to heat and pressure.
Both statements True
Both statements False
First statement True. Second statement False
First statement False. Second statement True
A metamorphic rock may have a new mineral composition and/or texture
True
False
maybe hehe
