What are three characteristics of sedimentary rocks?

$400 Answer Topic 1

Tend to be soft rocks. The presence of layers is the most common feature, may contain fossils

Return

$500 Question Topic 1

Explain how we classify sedimentary rocks and give specific examples of each rock type.

$500 Answer Topic 1

We classify sedimentary rocks by their grain size. Conglomerate (large), sandstone (medium), Shale (fine), and limestone (very fine). Organic (containing

remains of once living things, chemical (crystallizing), evaporates (water evaporating)

$100 Answer Topic 2

Granite, scoria, pumice, gabbro, obsidian, basalt, etc

Return

$300 Question Topic 2

How are igneous rocks formed?

$300 Answer Topic 2

formed from magma or lava cooling on the earth’s surface or below the earth’s surface

Return

$400 Question Topic 2

What are two ways we classify igneous rocks?

$400 Answer Topic 2

classified by their crystal size (small crystals cooled quickly, large crystals cooled slowly), silica content

Return

$500 Question Topic 2

Explain the difference between igneous intrusive rocks and igneous extrusive rocks. Give a specific example of each type.

$500 Answer Topic 2

intrusive are rocks cooled inside the earth, larger crystals, example granite

extrusive rocks are cooled outside the earth, smaller crystals, example obsidian

Return

$100 Question Topic 3

True or False Foliated metamorphic rocks are rocks that have bands

or streaks in the rocks, and tend to be hard rocks.

$100 Answer Topic 3

True

Return

$200 Question Topic 3

What type of metamorphic rock does granite turn to when it is heated and pressurized?

$200 Answer Topic 3

gneiss

Return

$300 Question Topic 3

Explain how metamorphic rocks are formed.

$300 Answer Topic 3

rocks changed by heat and/or pressure

Return

$400 Question Topic 3

Explain two characteristics of metamorphic rocks.

$400 Answer Topic 3

often have bands or streaks in the rock, tend to be hard rocks

Return

$500 Question Topic 3 What do the following rocks turn into when heated and pressurized? limestone- shale- sandstone- bituminous coal- granite-

$500 Answer Topic 3

marble, slate, quartzite, anthracite coal, gneiss

Return

$100 Question Topic 4 John finds a rock near the ocean with different minerals,

rocks, and fossils embedded into it. It also crumbles easily. What type of rock can you conclude John has found?

A. IgneousB. SedimentaryC. MetamorphicD. Ore

$100 Answer Topic 4

B. Sedimentary

Return

$200 Question Topic 4

What kind of rock is produced by deposition and cementation?

A. marble, a metamorphic rockB. Sandstone, a sedimentary rockC. Granite, an intrusive igneous rockD. Pumice, an extrusive igneous rock

$200 Answer Topic 4

B. Sandstone, a sedimentary rock

Return

$300 Question Topic 4

What kind of rocks are formed by magma that cools slowly?

$300 Answer Topic 4

intrusive igneous

Return

$400 Question Topic 4

Minerals have four characteristics. Which of the fourcharacteristics do rocks have in common with minerals?

$400 Answer Topic 4

formed in nature, solids

Return

$500 Question Topic 4

List the four characteristics of minerals and compareand contrast how rocks and minerals are alike and different.

$500 Answer Topic 4

Minerals form in nature, they are solids, they have a definite chemical composition, and they have a crystalline structure

Rocks only have two of the four characteristics- formed in Nature and are solids. Rocks are normally one or more Minerals combined. Minerals are made up from elements.

Return

$100 Question Topic 5 What type of rock has minerals that flatten out or line up in bands and tend to be very hard rocks?

A. Foliated metamorphicB. Nonfoliated metamorphicC. Extrusive igneousD. Intrusive igneous

$100 Answer Topic 5

A. Foliated metamorphic

Return

$200 Question Topic 5

Which is not a characteristic of a mineral?

A. Forms in natureB. Can be a solid, liquid, or a gasC. Has a definite chemical compositionD. Has a crystal structure

$200 Answer Topic 5

B. Can be a solid, liquid, or a gas

Return

$300 Question Topic 5

Scoria, rhyolite, pumice, basalt, magnetite, and obsidianare all examples of which rock type/

$300 Answer Topic 5

igneous

Return

$400 Question Topic 5

Name four specific types of sedimentary rock.

$400 Answer Topic 5

$300 Question Topic 6

Explain the differences in the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

$300 Answer Topic 6

igneous-cooling of magma or lava sedimentary-bits and pieces of sediment laid down on top of one another and fused together metamorphic- rocks changed by heat and pressure

Return

$400 Question Topic 6

How are each rock type classified?

$400 Answer Topic 6

igneous-crystal size and silica content metamorphic-origional rock, foliated or nonfoliated sedimentary-grain size

Return

$500 Question Topic 6

Explain how the rock cycle works.

$500 Answer Topic 6

Rocks are formed from magma deep inside the earth. Over time, weathering and erosion transport rock fragments and accumulate into layers in an ocean.

over time, rocks cement together. Sometimes when rocks get heated and pressured, they change intometamorphic rock. When rock gets forced under the earth to be reheated, they form new igneous rock.
