2. If you miss it… too bad.

3. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter is a…
rock

4. Earth scientists classify the three main types of rock into smaller groups according to…
formation

5. Heat; melting then cooling
Which process would turn a metamorphic, sedimentary or igneous rock into an igneous rock?
Heat; melting then cooling

6. Intrusive; course, slow cooling allows large crystals to form.
What type of igneous rock is formed when magma cools slowly beneath the crust of the Earth? What type of texture will the rock have? Explain
Intrusive; course, slow cooling allows large crystals to form.

7. Extrusive; little to no crystals
When magma (lava) cools quickly at the surface of the Earth, what type of texture does igneous rock have? Explain why?
Extrusive; little to no crystals

8. Volcanic activity of Earth’s surface most likely results in the formation of what type of igneous rock?
extrusive

9. What is the process in which water, wind, glaciers, gravity, and heat break down rock?
weathering

10. Which type of rock forms near the Earth’s surface without the influence of intense heat and pressure?
sedimentary

11. Sediments are transported or moved from their original source by a process called?
erosion

12. A rock exists at the surface of the Earth
A rock exists at the surface of the Earth. What would be the next step in the rock cycle for the formation of Sedimentary Rock?
weathering

13. What is the process in which layers in sedimentary rock form
What is the process in which layers in sedimentary rock form? What are the layers called?
Compaction; strata

14. What rock formation process forms sediment?
weathering

15. What is the correct order in forming a sedimentary rock?
d. Weathering
b. Erosion
a. deposition
c. Compaction and cementation

16. Stratification occurs as the result of what process?
deposition

17. Sedimentary rock is formed when grains of sediment undergo…
b. Compaction and cementation

18. Fossils are the remains or traces of plants and animals that have been preserved in what kind of rock?
sedimentary

19. Newest strata is on the top. Older strata is covered by the newer
What is the Law of Superposition?
Newest strata is on the top. Older strata is covered by the newer

20. Sedimentary rock is formed in layers with fossils buried by sediment
Describe how fossils show evidence of how Earth’s surface and climate has changed over time?
Sedimentary rock is formed in layers with fossils buried by sediment

21. What process brings rock to Earth’s surface, where they can be weathered and eroded?
uplift

22. Rock in which the composition and texture of the rock have been changed by heat and pressure is called…
metamorphic

23. What has to increase in order for metamorphism to occur?
Heat and pressure

24. How are foliated metamorphic rocks different from non-foliated metamorphic rocks?
Visible layers

25. Any type of rock can be any other type of rock
Which types of rock can change into metamorphic rock?
Any type of rock can be any other type of rock

26. The End
