Rock Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A Metamorphic Rock With Grains Arranged in Bands Is This | Foliated |
| This Is an Igneous Rock Made up of the minerals,quartz,mica,feldspar,and hornblende | Granite |
| Rock texture with grains that are large and easy to see is called a...... | Coarse-Grained |
| Humans mostly used rock for what in the past | Tool & Weapons |
| Geologists Classify Metamorphic rock according to this | Arrangement of their Grains |
| Does a Sedimentary rock have to become Metamorphic rock before it can become magma | No, it can get pushed into magma and melts |
| Explain How a Metamorphic rock can become magma | Gets pushed into the Mantle and Melts |
| Sandstone,Shale,and Breccia are examples of these types of Sedimentary Rock | Clastic Sedimentary Rock |
| Mineral most resistant to scratching, hardest mineral on Moh's Scale of hardness | Daimond |
| Determines the composition of rock | Minerals |
| Does each major group of rocks follow only one pathway in the rock cycle | No |
| Type of Sedimentary rock Formed From dissolved minerals or due to evaporation | Chemical |
| Pathway in which magma becomes sedimentary rock | WEDCOCE Weathering,Erosion,Deposition,Compaction,Cementation |
| Small particals of rock or the remains of living things that make up Sedimentary rocks are called these | Sediments |
| Rocks are made up of mixture of these | MINERALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Process when Sediments settle out of the water or wind that carries it | Depostition |
| Explain how a grain of sand could some day be lava | Sand Becomes Sandstone And Gets pushed into the mantle and melts forming into magma then gets pushed up a volcano |
| Explain How Course-Grained Igneous rock is formed | When Magma Cools Slowly Under the Earths Surface |
| Explain how organic sedimentary rocks are formed | Formed form Fossils Of Plants or the remains of living Animals or things |
| What Type of rock is granite,describe,explain how it is formed | An Igneous Rock Formed from magma containing minerals such as Quartz,Mica,Feldspar,and Hornblende |
| Size,shape,and position of grains make up a rock's | Texture |
| Igneous rock formed from lava that erupted onto Earth's Surface is called what | Extrusive Igneous Rock |
| Geologist use this to describe rocks Texture | Size,Shape,and Position |
| Processes which form sediment is called | Weathering |
| Heat and Pressure deep beneath Earth's Surface can change any rock into this type of rock | Metamorphic |
| During a rock cycle,what type of rock can change to form sedimentary rock | All (Igneous and Metamorphic) |
| Texture of Metamorphic rock that has grains arranged randomly is described as this | NonFoliated |
| What type of rock is Gneiss,describe, explain how it formed | Gneiss-Metamorphic rock -Thin and put under high pressure that came form shale |
| Type of rocks formed on Earths Surface | Extrusive |
| Most abundant rock in the continental crust | Granite |
| Name some rocks suitable for building building materials | Limestone-Granite-sandstone and other rocks marble |
| Process where dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particals of sediment together,changing the rock on Earth's surface, is this | Cementation |
| Series of processes on Earth's surface and interior that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another | Rock Cycle |
| 2 pathways an Igneous rock can follow to become a metamorphic rock are these | Heat And Pressure or Erosion and weathering to go to the sedimentary rock to Form into a metamorphic rock |
| Nonmetallic Minerals Valued for this beauty and rarity are called this | GemStone |
| This happens to magma and lava once they cool and harden | They Form Igneous |
| This is where most metamorphic rock forms | In the Mantle |
| Chalk formed from sediments made of skeletons of microscopic living things in the ocean must be this type of rock | Organic |
| Rocks which get pushed or shifted into the mantle become this | melt and become magma |
| Scientists classify rocks by these three characteristics | Igneous,Sedimentary,Metamorphic Rock |
| Why is cement,brick,steel,and glass not classified as minerals | It's already pushed and pressed together |
