| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| erosion on a mountain range that was pushed up as a result of two continental plates colliding will lead to the formation of | sedimentary rock |
| generally rock is made up of | mixture of minerals and other materials |
| the process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it is | deposition |
| the process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together is | cementation |
| igneous rock that formed from lava that erupted onto earth's surface is called | extrusive rock |
| when all the grains in a rock are large and easy to see, the rock is described as | coarse grained |
| the most abundant intrusive rock in the continental crust is | granite |
| chalk formed from sediments made of skeletons of microscopic living things in the ocean must be a(n) | organic rock |
| rock that forms from the cooling of magma below the surface is called | igneous rock |
| a series of processes on Earth's surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another is called | the rock cycle |
| heat and pressure deep beneath earth's surface can change any rock into | metamorphic rock |
| where does most metamorphic rock form? | deep underground |
| the small particles of rock or the remains of living things that make up sedimentary rocks are called _c_e_m_e_n_t___ | false/sediment |
| high pressure can change an igneous rock into a(n) s_e_d_i_m_e_n_t_a_r_y rock | false/metamorphic |
| igneous rocks that formed beneath earth's surface are e_x_t_r_u_s_i_v_e rocks | false/intrusive |
| particles of minerals called g_r_a_i_n_s give a rock its texture | true |
| chemical reactions, pressure, and ________ can cause sedimentary rock to change to metamorphic rock | heat |
| foliated and nonfoliated are terms used to describe the texture of ____________ rocks | metamorphic |
| small solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things are called | sediment |
| as layer upon layer of sediments are deposited the process of _________ presses them together | compaction |
| the carrying away of rock fragments by water wind or ice is called _______ an important process in the formation of sedimentary rocks | erosion |
| sediment settles out of moving water by the process of __________ | deposition |
| coal is an example of a(n) _________ organic rock a sedimentary rock that forms where thick layers of plant and animal remains are deposited | organic |
| an igneous rock that is formed from lava is called a(n) _________ rock. | metamorphic |
| dissolved minerals and particles of sediment stick together to form sedimentary rock in a process called _________ | cementation |
| which group of rocks is most likely to contain fossils? why? | sedimentary rocks because these rocks contain sediment from once living things from long ago |
