Question
Answer
metamorphic rocks are formed inside the Earth's....   crust  
🗑
what two things turn rock into metamorphic rock?   Intense heat and pressure  
🗑
what are examples of metamorphic rocks (3)   1. slate 2. marble 3. gneiss  
🗑
be able to draw what a metamorphic rock looks like   yes  
🗑
define rocks   a natural and non-living solid formation of one or more minerals  
🗑
define metamorphic rocks   rocks that are formed deep inside the Earth's crust from intense heat and pressure  
🗑
type of rock that is formed when magma or lava cools down   igneous rocks  
🗑
rocks that are formed after weathering and over time cement together to form into one rock   sedimentary rocks  
🗑
the continuous process in which rocks are changed from one type of rock to another type of rock   the rock cycle  
🗑
describe the rock cycle that changes metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock   weathering turns the metamorphic rock into sediments, then cementation turns the sediment into sedimentary rock  
🗑
describe how a metamorphic rock turns into an igneous rock   the metamorphic rock melts in the presence of lava/magma then cools to form igneous rock  
🗑
Igneous rocks are are formed when melted rocks do what?   cool and then harden into solid rock  
🗑
melted rocks below the Earth's surface are called   magma  
🗑
give 3 examples of igneous rock   1) granite 2) diorite 3)magma  
🗑
why does magma cool slower than lava   because lava is not as hot as magma  
🗑
melted rocks that are under the earth's surface   magma  
🗑
type of rock that is formed when magma or lava cools down   igneous rocks  
🗑
the continuous process in which rocks are changed from one type of rock to another type of rock   the rock cycle  
🗑
3 examples of igneous rocks are   granite/ diorite/ magma  
🗑
why does magma cool slower than lava?   because it is hotter than lava to begin with. Its under the earth's surface. Once it reaches the surface, it's called lava- which cools more rapidly because it's exposed to the atmosphere  
🗑
igneous rocks are formed when melted rocks do what   cool and then harden  
🗑
melted rocks beneath the earth's surface are called   magma  
🗑
the moving of weathered rocks by wind or water   deposition  
🗑
the process of moving weathered rock   erosion  
🗑
small pieces of broken apart rocks   sediments  
🗑
when rocks break apart slowly due to the effects of the   weather  
🗑
rocks that are formed after weathering creates sediments and the sediments cement and form into one rock   sedimentary rock  
🗑
traces of dead plants or animals   fossils  
🗑
