Chapter 10
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A rock that has changed due to heat or preasure | igneous |
| What kind of tests would you use to identify a ROCK? | acid, magnetism, luminescnece |
| The individual rock particles, crystals, and sometimes fossils that combine to give a rock its texture is known as | grain |
| What kind of rock contains the largest crystals? | coarse grained |
| A type of rock that is so smooth and shiny that it's called volcanic glass is | obsidian |
| Igneous rock like granite and basalt are often used for statues and important buildings because they | are strong and resistant to weathering |
| Which type of rock is most closely tied to the process of erosion? | sedimentary |
| In the formations of sedimentary rocks what would come between deposition and cementation? | compaction |
| Rocks formed from minerals precipitated from water are | nonclastic |
| What kind of sedimentary rock is most useful as construction material | conglomerate |
| The original rock that was altered to form a metamorphic rock is the | source |
| Metamorphic rock contains grains that appear to be aligned in a more or less patter is ________________________ metamorphic rock. | foliated |
| What are some examples of why high-quality marble would most likely be used for? | mostly used for building sculpture and building buildings |
| According to the old-earth rock cycle, most rocks will eventually | return to the mantle and melt |
| The young-earth view of historical geology concludes that | certain parts of the rock cycle is stilled happening today |
| Melting sedimentary rocks in the crust can happen only through | erosion |
| What is the law of conservation | that matter can't be created or destroyed |
| Rocks that formed when molten rock cooled and hardened is called | igneous |
| Rocks that formed from bits and pieces or eroded rocks are called | sedimentary |
| Young-earth geologists believe that the original basement rock of the earth's continents was | granite |
| Modern geologists believe that the size of the grains in an igneous rock have more to do with where it cooled that how ___________________ it cooled. | fast |
| Fragments of rocks that fuse together to form a larger rock are called | clasts |
| Limestone has been used for thousands of years as the raw material for a common artificial construction material called | concrete |
| Metamorphic rocks that contain crystals in bands or parallel layers are classified as | foliated |
| What limestone undergoes metamorphosis, it turns into | marble |
| Old-earth geologists believe that sedimentary rocks eventually return to the mantle by | subduction |
| Any zones where they remelting of sedimentary rocks in the crusts has occurred as probably leftover from | the flood |
| What is a rock? | a solid material in the earth's crus |
| To what geologic event does the widespread existence of sedimentary rock testify? | the flood |
| List 3 conditions that can cause metamorphism in rockas | Temperature, pressure, and the presence of hot, water, chemical solutions called hydrothermal |
| How does igneous rock form? | from magma and lava |
| How does metamorphic rock form? | heat and pressure can change igneous and sedimentary into this |
| How does sedimentary rock form? | small particles of eroded rock get compacted together |
| What does a rock's texture reveal about its history? | Tiny sand-like grains or larger particles of broken rock indicates that the rock formed from sediments. long thin grains could be the result of heat or pressure squishing or stretching the rock. |
| Describe the process that probably formed clastic sedimentary rocks, from the source rock to the final sedimentary rock. | process of sedimentation during the rock cycle |
