Question
Answer
mixture of minerals, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other material   rock  
🗑
model showing processes that create and change rock   rock cycle  
🗑
rock can be changed by heat and pressure into metamorphic rock   sedimentary  
🗑
rock can melt and cool to form igneous rock   metamorphic  
🗑
rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rock   igneous  
🗑
rock cycle never destroys elements of rocks, but merely redistributes them   conservation of matter  
🗑
recognized the rock cycle in 1788 by observing Siccar Point, Scotland   James Hutton  
🗑
form from magma found deep under Earth's surface   igneous rock  
🗑
magma reaching the surface flows from a volcano as___   lava  
🗑
magma trapped below the surface forms large-grained____ igneous rock when it cools   intrusive  
🗑
magma cooling at or near Earth's surface forms small-grained ____ igneous rocks   extrusive  
🗑
_____ igneous rocks are dark-colored and dense   basaltic  
🗑
basaltic igneous rocks contain ____ and _____ but very little silica   iron and magnesium  
🗑
basaltic lava flows _____ from a volcano   freely  
🗑
_____ igneous rocks are lower density and lighter colored   granitic  
🗑
granitic magma is ____ and ___   thick and stiff  
🗑
granitic igneous rocks contain more _____ and less iron and magnesium   silica  
🗑
_____ rocks have a more balanced composition of minerals and density that basaltic or granitic rocks   andesitic  
🗑
crystal ____, large or small, can help identify an igneous rock as intrusive or extrusive   size  
🗑
volcanic glass rocks ____ so quickly that few crystals form   cool  
🗑
some rocks have ____ formed around once-trapped air and other gases   holes  
🗑
igneous rocks are _____ in two ways   classified  
🗑
where the igneous rock was formed- ____ (under the Earth's surface) or _____ (at or near the Earth's surface)   intrusive and extrusive  
🗑
_____ type- basaltic, granitic, or andesitic   magma  
🗑
metamorphic rocks- changed by ____, ______, and hot fluids   temperature and pressure  
🗑
_____ and _____ result from one layer of rock on top of another layer   heat and pressure  
🗑
sometimes temperature and pressure are great enough to ____ rock, forming magma   melt  
🗑
sometimes pressure ____ mineral grains in rocks without melting them   flattens  
🗑
as pressure and temperature continue to increase over time, one type of rock can change in _____ ______ metamorphic rocks   several different  
🗑
hot, water-rich ____ can move through rock, chemically changing it   fluids  
🗑
classification of metamorohic rocks- by composition and ____   texture  
🗑
______ texture- mineral grains flatten and line up in parallel layers or bands   foliated  
🗑
_______ texture- mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers   nonfoliated  
🗑
______ rocks- mostly found on the exposed surface of Earth   Sedimentary  
🗑
rock fragments, mineral grains, and bits of plant and animal remains moved by wind, water, ice or gravity are called ____   sediments  
🗑
sedimentary rocks form in _____   layers  
🗑
sedimentary rocks- ______ by what they were made of and how they were formed   classified  
🗑
______ sedimentary rocks- made from broken fragments of other rocks   detrital  
🗑
when layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, ____ occurs   compaction  
🗑
when water and other minerals move through open spaces between larger sediments, gluing them together, ____ occurs   cementation  
🗑
Detrital rocks have a ______ texture   granular  
🗑
rocks are named according to _____ and ____ of sediments   shape and size  
🗑
Sediments can be _____ or have _____ angles   round or sharp  
🗑
sediment size can be small like____ or large like _____   clay or gravel  
🗑
chemical sedimentary rocks- non-clastic rocks formed when dissolved _____ came out of solution   minerals  
🗑
limestone forms from _____, which was calcium carbonate in solution   calcite  
🗑
rock salt forms form _____, which was salt in a solution   halite  
🗑
organic sedimentary rocks- made from ___ of once-living plants or animals   remains  
🗑
________- made of micrscopic calcie-shell remains of animals   chalk  
🗑
______- made of plant remains, chamically changed by microorganisma and compacted over millions of years   coal  
🗑
rock cycle- a ______ and dynamic process   continuous  
🗑
