Map Test Review - Set 4

Front 1

The three main types of rocks are ____________, ________________, and _________________ rocks.

Back 1

Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic.

Front 2

The process that makes and recycles rocks is called the _______________ _________________.

Back 2

Rock Cycle

Front 3

Rocks that form from magma as it cools and solidifies is called ______________________ rock.

Back 3

Igneous

Front 4

Most rocks begin as _________________ rocks.

Back 4

Igneous

Front 5

Over time, ________________ and ________________ breaks rock down into smaller and smaller pieces at Earth's surface.

Back 5

Weathering and Erosion

Front 6

As igneous rock is weathered and eroded and broken down, it becomes ______________________ and gathers in sediment beds.

Back 6

Sediment

Front 7

Small pieces of broken down rock is called:

Back 7

Sediment

Front 8

When sediment (small piecesof broken down rock) is cemented together, _____________________ rock is formed.

Back 8

Sedimentary

Front 9

Over time, wind and water carry small pieces of broken down igneous rock to piles called _____________________________ ______________.

Back 9

Sediment Beds

Front 10

When sediment beds become buried and the sediment hardens and becomes cemented together over time, _________________________ rock is formed.

Back 10

Sedimentary

Front 11

If sedimentary rock isexposed at Earth's surface and erodes, it can be broken down to become sedimentagain. But, if sedimentary rock gets buried deep beneath Earth's surface,heat and pressure can bake it into ___________________ rock.

Back 11

Metamorphic

Front 12

This type of rock is produced as a result of extreme heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface: ___________________________ rock.

Back 12

Metamorphic

Front 13

Metamorphic rock can be weathered and broken down into sedimentary rock. If it gets pushed farther beneath Earth's surface, it can melt and become magma. Once the magma cools, it can then become _____________________ rock.

Back 13

Igneous

Front 14

The rock ________________ starts when new rocks form along big cracks that occur in Earth's crust. Magma pushes up through the cracks and cools into new rocks.

Back 14

Cycle

Front 15

If sedimentary rock isexposed at Earth's surface and erodes, it can be broken down to become sedimentagain. But, if sedimentary rock gets buried deep beneath Earth's surface,heat and pressure can bake it into ___________________ rock.

Back 15

Metamorphic

Front 16

Large cracks that occur in Earth's surface are called ________________________ plate boundaries.

Back 16

Divergent (divergent plate boundaries are large cracks in Earth's surface. Magma can push up between these cracks. The magma later cools into new rocks.)

Front 17

The Rock Cycle: Rocks begin as ________________ rock, and erodes into ____________________ rock. Then, they change into ____________________ rocks. Finally, they melt back to ____________________ and the process starts all over again.

Back 17

igneous

sedimentary

metamorphic

magma

Front 18

Naturally occurring substances formed by geologic processes are called ________________.

Back 18

Minerals

Front 19

__________________ have crystal structure, hardness, luster, color, streak, fracture, cleavage, and density.

Back 19

Minerals

Front 20

Minerals are sometimes made of only one chemical element, but is usually a mixture of two or more elements called a ___________________.

Back 20

Compound (A mixture of two or more elements is a compound)

Front 21

These are naturally occurring solids made up of minerals. (Earth's crust is made of these):

Back 21

Rocks and Stone
