Amplify Rocks
Gappa Rocks Chp 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| type of rock formed by lava cooling | igneous |
| type of rock formed by small pieces of rock that are compacted and cemented together | sedimentary |
| Heat and pressure deep beneath Earth’s surface can change any rock into this type of rock | metamorphic |
| this process is responsible for uplifting and subducting large rock formations which exposes them to different energy sources that can change them into different types of rcoks | plate motion |
| Rocks that form underground closer to the mantle where there is a lot of heat and pressure | metamorphic rocks |
| Order in which sedimentary rocks form | weathring, erosion, compaction, cementation |
| The three main types of rocks are... | igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic |
| what is the energy source that causes melting | Earth's interior |
| process in which particles of sediment are "glued" together | cementation |
| process in which particles of sediment are pressed together | compaction |
| if magma cools beneath Earth's surface, it will harden into an igneous rock (slowly or quickly) | slowly |
| if magma cools above Earth's surface, it will harden into an igneous rock (slowly or quickly) | quickly |
| process in which water and wind break down rocks into small pieces of sediment | weathering |
| process in which water and wind move sediment to a different location | erosion |
