Chapter 1: Rocks

Science Final

QuestionAnswer
Lithification Process through which sediments turn into rock.
Fiolation Results when pressure causes flat minerals to line up, giving the rock a layered appearance.
Erosion happens when running water, wind, waves, or glaciers pick up rocks from Earth’s surface and move them around.
Weathering Process that breaks rocks into fragments and sediments.
Mechanical Weathering Breaks down rocks without changing their chemical composition.
Chemical Weathering Occurs when water, air, or other substances react with the minerals in rocks, soil, and building materials to change their chemical composition.
Metamorphism Occurs when subjected to high temperature and pressure
Crystallization When magma or lava cools down and turns from a liquid to a solid.
Sedimentary Rocks Formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They are also formed mainly by weathering.
Metamorphic Rocks Formed from other rocks that are changed because of heat or pressure. These rocks have smaller mineral grains that are flattened or aligned.
Intrusive Igneous Rocks Forms when trapped magma cools (inside).
Extrusive Igneous Rocks These are the rocks that form at erupting volcanoes and oozing fissures. (outside)
Rock Cycle The series of processes that continually change one rock into another type of rock.
Which is true of the size of crystals in igneous rock? Igneous rock that forms above Earth's surface has smaller crystals than igneous rock that forms below Earth's surface.
What does the texture of an igneous rock refer to? its grain size and arrangement
Which of the following is a foliated metamorphic rock? slate
What type of rock is marble? metamorphic
Where does the rock cycle occur? both on top of and below the Earth's surface
Within the rock cycle, which transition does not occur in one step? magma to sedimentary rock
What do the terms "extrusive" and "intrusive" describe? the location where igneous rock is formed
Which process moves large amounts of rock up to Earth's surface and higher elevations? uplift
Where are Earth's oldest rocks usually found? in the middle of tectonic plates

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
