| Question | Answer |
| What are the three types of rocks in the rock cycle? | igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary
|
What are the two types of igneous rocks? | intrusive and extrusive
| Intrusive igneous rocks cool how? | Slowly
| Metamorphic rocks form using what? | Heat and pressure
| If water gets into a rock and freezes and cools several times breaking the rock down, this is what type of weathering? | mechanical weathering
| What illustrates how rocks change from one types to another? | the rock cycle
| Molten rock inside the earth is | magma
| The transportation of sediment from one place to another is known as | erosion
| Extrusive rocks take less time to form and thus have _____ crystals | smaller
| How can a rock be changed into sedimentary rock? | weathering and erosion
| What type of rock is formed under the earth? | intrusive igneous
| Wind carries small sediment particles during a desert sandstorm; this is an example of what? | erosion
| Wind blows across a rock smoothing it out and breaking it down into smaller particles; this is an example of what? | mechanical weathering
| A lichen (fungus) grows on a rock and uses that rock for nutrients, slowly breaking the rock down; this is an example of what? | biological weathering
| After transforming to sediment, the metamorphic rock transforms to sedimentary rock by ____ | cementation and compaction
| Metamorphic rock transforms to igneous rock by _____ | melting and cooling
| Metamorphic rock transforms to sediment by _____ | weathering and erosion
| Igneous rock transforms to sediment by _____ | weathering and erosion
| Sedimentary rock transforms to igneous rock by _____ | melting and cooling
| Igneous rock transforms to metamorphic rock by _____ | heat and pressure
