- Slide 1
- Questions to help you rock the upcoming test.
- Slide 2
- When sediments are compacted and cemented together, this type of rock is formed.
- Slide 3
- Any rock exposed to high heat and pressure can change form and turn into this type of rock.
- Slide 4
- Any rock can be mechanically or chemically broken down into pieces called _________________.
- Slide 5
- When magma cools and crystallizes this type of rock forms.
- Slide 6
- When the melting point of the minerals in a rock are reached ______________ will form.
- Slide 7
- A rock formed from cemented pieces of preexisting rock is called a ______________ sedimentary rock.
- Slide 8
- Magma that cools in the ground will form an _________________ igneous rock.
- Slide 9
- When rock is exposed to great pressure the minerals can separate into bands or layers to create a _________________ metamorphic rock.
- Slide 10
- Some rocks form from the minerals in water precipitating (coming together). This type of rock is called a ________________ sedimentary rock.
- Slide 11
- When lava cools at the surface of a volcano or at a mid-ocean ridge, an _________________ igneous rock will form.
- Slide 12
- When a rock forms from the remains of living organisms it is called an organic or _______________ sedimentary rock.
- Slide 13
- When a rock is exposed to high heat and pressure and only one type of mineral is present in the rock, a ______________________ metamorphic rock will generally form.
- Slide 14
