Rocks Review Game
2
A naturally occurring, solid mixture of one or ore minerals and organic matter
3
Rocks
4
How did humans use rocks in the past?
5
Tools, weapons, and building materials
6
What is the process in which water, wind, and heat break down rock?
7
Weathering/erosion
8
If magma cools quickly, what kind of texture will the rock have?
9
Fine-grained
10
What are 3 ways that magma forms?
11
Increase temperature decrease pressure change composition
12
What has to increase for metamorphism to occur?
13
Heat and pressure
14
The process of forming a sedimentary rock when minerals dissolve then bond the sediments together (like glue)
15
cementation
16
Layers of sedimentary rock are called
17
strata
18
What are the 3 types of sedimentary rock
19
Clastic, chemical, and organic
20
What type of rock forms when magma cools?
21
igneous
22
What determines the size of the crystals in an igneous rock?
23
How fast or slow the magma/lava cools
24
Type of igneous rock that forms when magma cools below the Earth’s surface
25
intrusive
26
Metamorphic rock in which the mineral grains are arranged in planes or bands
27
foliated
28
What are the two ways rocks are classified?
29
Texture and Composition
30
What does Composition mean?
31
What a rock is made up of
32
Light – colored igneous rocks are called
33
felsic
34
Felsic igneous rocks are made up of mostly
35
quartz
36
Dark-colored igneous rocks are called
37
mafic
38
Mafic igneous rocks are made up of mostly
39
Plant materials
40
Process in which sediment is dropped and comes to rest
41
deposition
42
Process by which new rock is made from old rock
43
Rock Cycle
44
The quality of a rock based on the size and shape of the mineral grains
45
texture
46
Minerals used to estimate the temperature and depth that a rock undergoes metamorphism
47
Index minerals
48
Metamorphic rock in which mineral grains are NOT arranged in bands
49
nonfoliated
50
Process in which layers in sedimentary rock are formed
51
stratification
52
Metamorphic rock formed in large areas deep under the Earth’s surface
53
Regional metamorphism
54
Metamorphic rock formed in small areas due to rising magma
55
Contact metamorphism
56
Igneous rock that cools below the Earth’s surface
57
intrusive
