Lesson 3+4 Rocks

QuestionAnswer
Igneous Rock A type of rock that forms from the cooling of molten rock at or below the Earth's surface.
Sedimentary Rock A type of rock that forms when particles from other rocks or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together.
The Rock Cycle The Earth's process of changing one type of rock into another type of rock.
What are the three major types of rocks? Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic
What is the source of energy that drives the weathering and erosion of sedimentary rocks? The source of energy is the sun and Earth's interior
High heat metals a deposit of sedimentary rock, which then hardens into a new rock. What kind of rock forms? Igneous Rock forms from the cooling of melted rock (magma or lava)
You are examining a sample of igneous rock. What factors affect the kind of igneous rock found in the sample? The temperature of the magma and its composition affect the kind of igneous rock that is formed.
What process can recycle sedimentary rock into sediment? Weathering and erosion can take a sedimentary rock and turn it into sediment.
Describe a process that happens again and again in the rock cycle. A process that happens over and over again in the rock cycle are melting weathering and erosion,heat and pressure and deposition.
Describe two different way that sedimentary rock can become igneous rock. Melting into magma and lava or by heat and pressure turning into metamorphic and then melting into magma and lava.
Explain why the change from metamorphic rock to magma almost always occurs below Earth’s surface. The change from metamorphic rock to magma always happens under ground because of the intense heat and pressure.
