| Answer | Question |
| Igneous | Form when magma or lava cools and crystallizes. |
| Sedimentary | Form where sediment is deposited. |
| Metamorphic | When rocks are exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure or the addition of chemical fluids, ___________ rocks result. |
| Intrusive | The type of igneous rock that forms when magma cools under ground. |
| Erosion | Movement or transportation of pieces of rocks. |
| Weathering | Breaking up of rocks into smaller pieces. |
| Compaction | Compression of rocks together. |
| Cementation | Dissolved minerals crystallize and cement rocks together. |
| Rock Cycle | Describes how Earth's materials and processes form and continuously change rocks. |
| Lava | Molten rock that has erupted onto Earth's surface. |
| Magma | Molten rock below the Earth's Surface. |
| Foliated | The type of metamorphic rock that has parallel layers of flat and elongated minerals. They are a result from an uneven distribution of pressure during metamorphism. |
| Non-Foliated | The type of metamorphic rock that has mineral grains with a random interlocking texture/ no obvious alignment of the mineral crystals. |
| Rock | A mixture of minerals or grains. NOT crystals. Some form near the surface and others are deep in the crust. |
| Clasts | The broken pieces and fragments in sedimentary rocks. |
| Chemical Rock | The type of sedimentary rock that forms when minerals crystallize directly from water. |
| Biochemical Rock | |
| Organic Rock | The type of sedimentary rock that is formed by organisms or contain the remains of organisms. |
| Clastic Rock | The type of sedimentary rock that is made up of broken pieces of rock fragments and minerals. |

| Contact Metamorphism | When magma comes in contact with existing rock, it's thermal energy and gases interact with the surrounding rock. |
| Regional Metamorphism | Formation of metamorphic rock bodies that are hundreds of square kilometers in size. This process can create an entire mountain range of metamorphic rocks. |
| Uplift | A structurally high area in the crust, produced by movements that raise the rocks, as in a broad dome or arch. |
| Parent Rock | The rock that changes during metamorphism. |
| Kilo Bars | |
| Understand that slow cooling process form large crystals, and fast cooling processes form small crystals. | |
| Explain how each type of rock (Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic) forms. | |
| Identify where each type of rock can be found. | |
| Be able to give several examples for each type of rock. | |
| Use a table to answer questions about rocks. | |
| Extrusive | The type of igneous rock that forms when volcanic material erupts, cools, and crystallizes on Earth's surface. |
