10
500 Question from H1
Earths most abundant rocks, formed from melted
rock that cools and hardens
11
500 Answer from H1
What is igneous rock?
12
100 Question from H2
This material, also called molten rock while
inside the earth.
13
100 Answer from H2
What is magma?
14
200 Question from H2
This type of molten rock erupts onto Earths
surface.
15
200 Answer from H2
What is lava?
16
300 Question from H2
This process or processes in molten rock
creates igneous rock.
17
300 Answer from H2
What is cooling and hardening?
18
400 Question from H2
The rate at which lava cools controls the size of
this within igneous rocks.
19
400 Answer from H2
What is crystals or crystal formation?
20
500 Question from H2
Geologists classify igneous rocks by this it
refers to grain size and grain arrangement.
21
500 Answer from H2
What is texture?
22
100 Question from H3
Rock and mineral fragments that are loose or
suspended in water, mineral or organic matter
deposited by water, air, or ice are called.
23
100 Answer from H3
What are sediments?
24
200 Question from H3
The process by which rock sediments are removed
and transported away by water, wind, or ice.
25
200 Answer from H3
What is erosion?
26
300 Question from H3
The conditions in the air above the Earth such as
wind, rain or temperature, especially at a
particular time over a particular area
27
300 Answer from H3
What is weather?
28
400 Question from H3
The process by which unconsolidated material
converts into coherent, solid rock, through
compaction or cementation this process turns
sediment into rock.
29
400 Answer from H3
What is lithification?
30
500 Question from H3
This process physically breaks rocks down into
smaller and smaller pieces while another process
involves a reaction with water that decomposes
rock into smaller pieces
31
500 Answer from H3
What is mechanical weathering and chemical
weathering?
32
100 Question from H4
Metamorphic rocks form when parent rocks go
through this process
33
100 Answer from H4
What is squeezed, heated, or exposed to hot
fluids.?
34
200 Question from H4
Each metamorphic rock has one of these.
35
200 Answer from H4
What is a parent rock?
36
300 Question from H4
This results when uneven pressures cause flat
minerals to line up, giving the rock a layered
appearance.
37
300 Answer from H4
What is foliation?
38
400 Question from H4
In this process the rocks do not melt. They
remain solid, but the texture and, sometimes, the
mineral composition of the parent rock change.
39
400 Answer from H4
Wh is metamorphism?
40
500 Question from H4
The most obvious characteristic in metamorphic
Rocks but not present in all metamorphic rocks

This type of rock, through cooling and hardening,
forms glass.
45
200 Answer from H5
What is igneous rock?
46
300 Question from H5
Rocks that are squeezed, heated, or exposed to
hot fluids create rocks like marble that are
commonly used to make statues.
47
300 Answer from H5
What is metamorphic rock?
48
400 Question from H5
This process creates sedimentary rock, through
compaction and/or cementation.
49
