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
