What is igneous.
What is the rock that comes after metamorphic?
|
What rock comes after igneous?
Sedimentary.
|
What rock comes after sedimentary?
Metamorphic.
|
Name the two types of tectonic plates.
Oceanic plates and continental plates.
|
What are all of the causes of erosion?
Volcanic activity, temperature, water, wind, ice, tectonic plates, and gravity.
|
|
How are metamorphic rocks formed?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when rock changes over a period of time due to a lot of physical changes, such as: pressure, heat and different chemical activity.
|
How are igneous rocks formed?
Igneous rocks form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
|
How are sedimentary rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment grains deposited by water, wind or ice. They are always formed in layers, and quite often contain fossils.
|
What is a continental drift?
The theory of Pangea.
|
Name the layers of the Earth.
The crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.
|
|
What are the two most common types of metamorphic rock?
Quarts and metamorphic.
|
What are the two most common categories of igneous rocks?
The two most common categories of igneous rocks are extrusive and intrusive.
|
What are the two most common types of sedimentary rock?
Sandstone and limestone.
|
What happens when tectonic plates smashed together?
Mountains form.
|
What is transportation?
Transportation is the transport of weathered materials, from mountains to the sea.
|
|
Is there a start or an end to the rock cycle?
No.
|
What is volcanic activity?
Volcanic activity ranges volcanic gases, non-explosive lava, to extremely violent explosive bursts that may last many hours.
|
What is sedimentation?
Sedimentation is when sediments (take sand for example) turn into rocks.
|
What happens when tectonic plates rub together?
Earthquakes happen.
|
What is deposition?
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to places, normally the sea.
|
|
Where are metamorphic rocks most commonly found?
We often find metamorphic rocks in mountain ranges.
|
Although it sounds weird, because igneous rocks come from volcanoes, most igneous rocks are found in the oceanic crust.
Where are igneous rocks most commonly found?
|
Where are sedimentary rocks most commonly found?
You're most likely to find sedimentary rocks near sources of water, which is where a lot of erosion takes place.
|
Who discovered Pangea.
Alfred Wegener.
|
What is subduction and what does it cause?
Subduction is when a tectonic plate slides under another. Subduction can cause earthquakes, and earthquakes can cause tsunami‘s. Fun fact: areas where a lot of subduction happens are called ‘subduction zones’
