8. A:B: QuartzMica #3 Which of these minerals are found in granite? C:D: FeldsparHornblende

9. A, B, C, D Quartz, Feldspar, Mica, and Hornblende

10. A:B: Shearing Deposition #4 What forces move rocks through the rock cycle? C:D: ErosionCompression

11. B and C Deposition and Erosion

12. A:B: Plate TectonicsRock Cycle #5 A series of processes that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another is called? C:D:

13. B. Rock Cycle

14. TrueFalse #6 True/False All rocks follow the same pathway through the Rock Cycle.

15. False Each rock can create a different rock

16. #7 What are rocks made of?

17. They are made of mixtures of minerals and other materials.

18. TrueFalse #8 True/False Most rocks can be identified by color alone.

19. False It only gives you a way to predict what it may be.

20. A:B: An example of a coarse-grained rock is diorite An example of a fine- grained rock is slate #9 What is true about the grain size in rock? C:D: Grains in fine-grained rock are easy to see Grains in coarse- grained rock are microscopic

21. A AND B

22. A:B: GrainsCrystals #10 Particles of minerals and other rocks that make up a rock are called C: Fossils

23. A Grains

24. TrueFalse #11 True/False A rock’s grains give the rock its texture.

25. True

26. A:B: The thickness of the rock when measured How a rock feels in your hand #12 Which choice(s) defines texture? C:D: The look of a rock

27. B and C

28. Igneous RockMetamorphic Rock #13 Sedimentary Rock What type of rock forms from the cooling of magma and lava

29. IGNEOUS ROCK

30. Igneous RockMetamorphic Rock #14 Which rock forms in layers of particles of rock? Sedimentary Rock

31. Sedimentary Rock

32. #15 True/False Metamorphic rocks form close to the surface

33. False Deep Underground

34. Igneous RockMetamorphic Rock #16 This type of rock forms when existing rock is changed Sedimentary Rock

35. Metamorphic Rock

36. Shape of the rock’s crystals Size of the rock’s crystals #17 What determines the grain shape of a rock such as granite? Shape of fragments of other rock Coarseness of the rock’s grains

37. A. Shape of the rock’s crystals

38. Some rocks without crystal grains cooled very quickly Some rocks have no visible grain even under a microscope #18 What is true about rocks with no visible grain? Rocks without crystal grains look rough and coarse An example of a rock with a glassy texture is slate

39. B Some rocks have no visible grain even under a microscope

40. A:B: Fineness of the rock’s grains Size of the rock’s grains #19 What determines the grain shape of a rock such as conglomerate? C:D: Shape of the rock’s crystals Shape of fragments of other rock

41. A

42. A:B: It looks like different colors in bands It looks like a stack of pancakes #20 What describes the grain pattern of gneiss? C:D: It looks like waves It looks like rows of squares and rectangles

43. A. It looks like different colors in bands

44. A:B: #21 How do geologists classify a rock? C:D:

45. Geologists classify into three major groups: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic

46. Great Job!!!! Great Job!!!! Thank you for playing! Thank you for playing!
