Rock Cycle
| Definition | |
|---|---|
| The broken pieces of rock fragments found in sedimentary rocks are called | Clasts |
| The continuous changing and reforming of rocks is called | rock cycle |
| Fragments that make up rocks | Grains |
| A volcanic eruption creates an _______ | extrusive igneous rock |
| _______ occurs when rocks come in contact with magma without melting. | contact metamorphism |
| _____________is a process in which the weight from layers of sediment forces out fluids and decreases the space between grains. | Compaction |
| The rock cycle changes a rock so slowly, we cannot see it with the naked_________________ | Eye |
| The term ___________________________is used to explain how rocks can bend or fold without melting. | Plastic Deformation |
| __________________metamorphic rocks form distinct, parallel layers. | Foliated |
| Volcanic glass forms when lava cools _______________ | Fast |
| Studying a rock's __________________ can help scientist determine which type of rock it is. | Texture |
| The rock that changes during metamorphism is called the _____________ | Parent rock |
| Limestone is ____________ | Rock |
| Marble is _______________ | Rock |
| A rock with a seashells in it is _________________________ | Sedimentary rock |
| Sedimentary rocks are ________________________ | Formed when loose materials become pressed together |
| Sedimentary rocks form because of all the following EXCEPT: | Crystals solidifying from magma |
| Which of the following is not a location in which sedimentary rocks are typically found? | Under a mountain |
| A rock is always_________________________ | A mixture of: Minerals Organic Matter Volcanic glass Or other material |
| Igneous rocks form from ______________ and _____________when it cools | Magma and lava |
| Lava that cools quickly forms _________________ | Extrusive Igneous Rocks |
| Which factors allow rocks to bend or fold without melting? | Pressure and Temperature |
| Which type of scientist analyzes the composition of rocks | Geologist |
| What type of sediment particles have worn surfaces and rounded corners? | Clastic |
| The processes involved in the rock cycle include all the following: | Erosion Weathering and Compaction |
| Igneous rocks that cool slowly beneath earths curst are | Intrusive |
| Metamorphic rocks that show layers of dark minerals alternating with layers of light minerals are classified as _______________ | Foliated |
| What process does not change rocks? | Melting |
| Molten deep inside Earth which igneous is formed is called ___________ | Magma |
| The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce ___________ | Large Mineral grains |
| Rocks are formed when magma and lava ? | Crystalizes |
| Sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of once living things are ? | Organic |
| Foliated rocks are distinguished by ? | Layers |
| All conditions In Earth can cause metamorphic rocks to form EXCEPT? | Exposure to air |
| A classification of metamorphic rocks would include whether they are ? | Foliated or nonfoliated |
| The rock cycle indicates that each type of rock can ? | Provide materials to make other rocks Form other rocks and Be changed by forces of Earths surface |
