|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| igneous | type of rock formed when lava or magma cools and solidifies
🗑
|
||||
| sedimentary | type of rock formed by the lithification of sediment; most surface rock; only type to contain fossils
🗑
|
||||
| metamorphic | type of rock formed when a pre-existing rock is changed by heat, pressure, or hot fluids
🗑
|
||||
| rock cycle | model that illustrates the 3 types of rocks and how they can each change to any other type
🗑
|
||||
| rock | consolidated mixture of minerals
🗑
|
||||
| intrusive | type of igneous rock that cools inside the earth's crust; large grains
🗑
|
||||
| extrusive | type of igneous rock that cools outside the earth's crust; small grains
🗑
|
||||
| weathering | disintegration and decomposition of rock
🗑
|
||||
| erosion | transportation of sediment by wind, water, or ice
🗑
|
||||
| deposition | water, wind, or ice loses energy and drops sediments
🗑
|
||||
| compaction | squeezing sediments together; caused by weight of sediment above it
🗑
|
||||
| cementation | dissolved minerals are deposited in spaces between sediments and glues them together
🗑
|
||||
| clastic | type of sedimentary rock made from weathered bits of rock and minerals
🗑
|
||||
| chemical | type of sedimentary rock that forms when dissolved substances precipitate from a solution
🗑
|
||||
| organic | type of sedimentary rock formed from the remains of once-living organisms
🗑
|
||||
| contact | type of metamorphism that occurs when magma intrudes rock, exposing the rock to extreme temperatures
🗑
|
||||
| regional | type of metamorphism that occurs during mountain building when tectonic plates collide; exposes rock to extreme heat and pressure
🗑
|
||||
| foliated | type of metamorphic rock that has layers or bands
🗑
|
||||
| non-foliated | type of metamorphic rock that does not form layers or bands
🗑
|
||||
| lithification | process by which sediments are solidified to form solid rock
🗑
|
||||
| bituminous | type of sedimentary coal; 3rd stage in the formation of coal
🗑
|
||||
| anthracite | metamorphic form of coal; dark, shiny, dense, and produces the most energy when burned
🗑
|
||||
| marble | metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock limestone
🗑
|
||||
| stratification | sediments are laid down layer upon layer to form rock
🗑
|
||||
| slate | metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale
🗑
|
||||
| limestone | chemical sedimentary rock; forms in areas where there used to be marine organisms; gets carved out to form caves
🗑
|
||||
| shale | sedimentary rock formed by mud and clay-sized particles
🗑

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.
