1-100 Rocks are changed from type to type in a series of changes called this.

1-100A What is the rock cycle?

1-200 Rocks, minerals, and organic matter are broken down into fragments called these.

1-200A What are sediments?

1-300 This type of rock is created when the processes of compaction and cementation take place.

1-300A What is sedimentary rock?

1-400 The underground substance that some igneous rock is formed from.

1-400A What is magma?

1-500 This is the type of rock represented by the letter “A” on the following diagram.

C B D A E

1-500A What is a metamorphic rock?

Metamorphic rocks can be classified into these two main categories.

2-100A What is foliated and nonfoliated?

2-200 Igneous rocks can be classified into these two main categories.

2-200A What is intrusive and extrusive?

2-300 Sedimentary rocks can be classified into these three main categories.

2-300A What is clastic, chemical, and organic?

2-400 It is the name of the glassy rock seen here.

2-400A What is obsidian?

2-500 It is the name of the rock seen here.

2-500A What is conglomerate?

Most sedimentary rocks are formed here.

3-100A What is underwater?

3-200 This bioclastic sedimentary rock is made from plant remains.

3-200A What is coal?

3-300 This sedimentary rock is made from broken shell fragments and forms the bedrock of Florida.

3-300A What is limestone?

3-400 This clastic sedimentary rock is made from the finest sediment.

3-400A What is shale?

3-500 It is the sedimentary rock seen here.

3-500A What is sandstone?

This igneous rock is often polished and used as a countertop.

4-100A What is granite?

4-200 The term that mean gas pockets in extrusive rocks.

4-200A What is vesicular?

4-300 This rock has the same mineral composition as granite but is porous.

4-300A What is pumice or vesicular rhyolite?

4-400 This rock has a fine grained texture and contains a lot of olivine.

4-400A What is basalt?

4-500 This rock cooled deep within the earth and contains olivine and plagioclase feldspar.

4-500A What is gabbro?

These are the two processes that form metamorphic rocks.

5-100A What is heat and pressure?

5-200 When shale is exposed to heat and pressure without melting this rock is formed.

5-200A What is slate?

5-300 This rock is formed when limestone is exposed to heat and pressure.

5-300A What is marble?

5-400 Exposing sandstone to extreme heat and pressure without melting it will make this type of rock.

5-400A What is quartzite?

5-500 It is the rock seen here.

5-500A What is gneiss?

A streams velocity is 30 cm/sec. Name the particles that will be carried by the stream.

6-100A What are silt and clay?

6-200 This is the minimum stream velocity to carry a boulder.

6-200A What is 300 cm/sec?

6-300 An example of this type of weathering is caused by acid rain.

6-300A What is chemical weathering?

6-400 This happens to the shape of a sediment as it travels down a river.

6-400A What is becomes rounder?

6-500 This type of physical weathering is occurring in the diagram seen here.

6-500
