Rocks - Science

Front 1

Name 5 types of Igneous rocks

Back 1

Granite, Basalt, Obsidian, Scoria, pumice.

Front 2

What is the difference between Weathering and Erosion?

Back 2

Weathering is the particle becoming de - attached and erosion is the moving of the particles.

Front 3

Name 5 types of physical weathering.

Back 3

Temperature change, the action of water and ice, crystallisation, wind, living plants

Front 4

Name 3 types of chemical weathering

Back 4

Gases, acids and water

Front 5

Name the basic components of soil

Back 5

Soils, texture, structure, water holding capacity, consistency

Front 6

Name the main uses of igneous rocks

Back 6

Basalt - building

Pumice - exfoliator

Front 7

Where are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks formed

Back 7

Intrusive - below the surface in a volcano

Extrusive - on the surface of a volcano

Front 8

Which has bigger crystals, intrusive or extrusive igneous rocks, why?

Back 8

Intrusive because it cools slow inside the volcano

Front 9

Name 8 types of sedimentary rocks

Back 9

Conglomerate, Mudstone, Breccia, Sandstone, halite, gypsum, limestone, coal

Front 10

Name the 4 clastic sedimentary rocks

Back 10

Conglomerate, breccia, sandstone, mudstone

Front 11

Name 3 chemical sedimentary rocks

Back 11

limestone, halite, gypsum

Front 12

Name an organic sedimentary rock

Back 12

coal

Front 13

Name the uses of sedimentary rock

Back 13

Limestone - buildings, paving

sandston - building

Front 14

How do sedimentary rocks form

Back 14

Sedimentary rocks are rocks made from sediments. The sediments need to be cemented together, this occurs through pressure and because there are substances in rocks and soil that act as natural cements.

Front 15

How does coal form

Back 15

They form when dead plant matter or animal debris accumulates and is then cemented together.

Front 16

How do Metamorphic rocks form?

Back 16

when high temperature and pressure alter existing igneous and sedimentary rocks

Front 17

Name 7 metamorphic rocks

Back 17

slate, schist, phyllite, gneiss, marble, hornfels quartzite

Front 18

Uses of metamorphic rocks?

Back 18

Slate is used for roofing, marble is used for building and sculpture, quartz is used for stone tools

Front 19

Draw the rock cycle

Back 19

*Rock Cycle*

Front 20

Name the two most common processes that change a pile of sediment into sedimentary rock.

Back 20

Compaction and Cementing

Front 21

Name the two factors that produce metamorphic rock?

Back 21

Heat and pressure

Front 22

Explain how different types of cooling affect crystal size in igneous rocks?

Back 22

If rock cools quickly then crystals are small

If rock cools slow then crystals are big.
