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  
🗑
