1-1001 - 100
Rocks are changed from type to type in a
series of changes called this.
1-100A1 - 100
What is the rock cycle?
1-200
Rocks, minerals, and organic matter are broken down into fragments called
these.
1-200A1 - 100
What are sediments?
1-300This type of rock is created when the
processes of compaction and cementation take
place.
1-300A1 - 100
What is sedimentary rock?
1-400
The underground substance that some igneous rock is formed
from.
1-400A1 - 100
What is magma?
1-500
This is the type of rock represented by
the letter “A” on the following
diagram.
1-500A1 - 100
What is a metamorphic rock?
2-1001 - 100
Metamorphic rocks can be classified into
these two main categories.
2-100A1 - 100
What is foliated and nonfoliated?
2-200
Igneous rocks can be classified into these
two main categories.
2-200A1 - 100
What is intrusive and extrusive?
2-300
Sedimentary rocks can be classified into
these three main categories.
2-300A1 - 100
What is clastic, chemical, and
organic?
2-400
It is the name of the glassy rock seen here.
2-400A1 - 100
What is obsidian?
2-500
It is the name of the rock seen here.
2-500A1 - 100
What is conglomerate?
3-1001 - 100
Most sedimentary rocks are formed
here.
3-100A1 - 100
What is underwater?
3-200
This bioclastic sedimentary rock is
made from plant remains.
3-200A1 - 100
What is coal?
3-300This sedimentary rock is made from
broken shell fragments and forms
the bedrock of Florida.
3-300A1 - 100
What is limestone?
3-400
This clastic sedimentary rock is made from the finest
sediment.
3-400A1 - 100
What is shale?
3-500
It is the sedimentary rock seen here.
3-500A1 - 100
What is sandstone?
4-1001 - 100
This igneous rock is often polished and
used as a countertop.
4-100A1 - 100
What is granite?
4-200
The term that mean gas pockets in
extrusive rocks.
4-200A1 - 100
What is vesicular?
4-300
This rock has the same mineral
composition as granite but is porous.
4-300A1 - 100
What is pumice or vesicular rhyolite?
4-400
This rock has a fine grained texture and
contains a lot of olivine.
4-400A1 - 100
What is basalt?
4-500
This rock cooled deep within the earth and contains olivine and plagioclase feldspar.
4-500A1 - 100
What is gabbro?
5-1001 - 100
These are the two processes that form metamorphic rocks.
5-100A1 - 100
What is heat and pressure?
5-200
When shale is exposed to heat and
pressure without melting this rock is
formed.
5-200A1 - 100
What is slate?
5-300
This rock is formed when limestone is
exposed to heat and pressure.
5-300A1 - 100
What is marble?
5-400
Exposing sandstone to extreme heat and
pressure without melting it will make
this type of rock.
5-400A1 - 100

This is the minimum stream velocity to carry a boulder.
6-200A1 - 100
What is 300 cm/sec?
6-300
An example of this type of weathering is caused by acid rain.
6-300A1 - 100
What is chemical weathering?
6-400
This happens to the shape of a sediment as it travels down a
river.
6-400A1 - 100

6-500
This type of physical weathering is
occurring in the diagram seen here.
