|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| a naturally occurring, solid mixture of one or more minerals and organic matter | rock
🗑
|
||||
| a continual series of processes in which rock changes form from one rock type to another | rock cycle
🗑
|
||||
| broken rock fragments or pieces | sediment
🗑
|
||||
| process in which water, wind, ice and heat break down rock | weathering
🗑
|
||||
| process in which water, wind, ice and gravity transport sediment and soil from one location to another | erosion
🗑
|
||||
| the process in which sediment and other material is laid down | deposition
🗑
|
||||
| movement within the Earth that causes rocks inside the Earth to be moved to the Earth's surface | uplift
🗑
|
||||
| type of rock formed by the cooling and hardening of molten material | igneous rock
🗑
|
||||
| rock formed by another rock being altered by heat or pressure or both | metamorphic rock
🗑
|
||||
| rock formed from the weathered remains of other rock being compacted or cemented together | sedimentary rock
🗑
|
||||
| molten rock or a mineral "soup" found at or near the Earth's surface | lava
🗑
|
||||
| molten rock or a mineral "soup" found under the Earth's surface | magma
🗑
|
||||
| the chemical makeup of a rock which describes either the minerals or the materials in the rock | composition
🗑
|
||||
| the quality of the rock that is based upon the sizes, shapes, and positions of the rock;s grains (crystals) | texture
🗑
|
||||
| igneous rock formed inside the Earth from magma cooling and hardening | intrusive igneous rock
🗑
|
||||
| igneous rock formed outside of the Earth from lava cooling and hardening | extrusive igneous rock
🗑
|
||||
| layers of rock | strata
🗑
|
||||
| a sedimentary rock made from fragments of rock being compacted or cemented together | clastic sedimentary rock
🗑
|
||||
| a sedimentary rock made from solutions of dissolved minerals and water | chemical sedimentary rock
🗑
|
||||
| a sedimentary rock formed from the remains of ancient life | organic sedimentary rock
🗑
|
||||
| metamorphic rock texture where the mineral grains (crystals) are arranged in planes or bands | foliated
🗑
|
||||
| metamorphic rock texture where the mineral grains (crystals) are not arranged in planes or bands | nonfoliated
🗑
|
||||
| A step in lithification; pressure due to the settling of other materials forcing sediment closer together | compaction
🗑
|
||||
| A step in lithification; as heat and pressure increase the sediments can change chemically, this allows sediments to be "locked" or "glued" together into a solid rock | cementation
🗑
|
||||
| Rocks that have been buried are exposed at Earth's surface because forces inside the Earth pushing them to the surface. | uplift
🗑
|
||||
| This is the remains or impression of an ancient organism. These are only found in sedimentary rock (not igneous or metamorphic). | fossils
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
