What are rocks made of?
Minerals and other materials.
Back to Menu
The size, shape, & pattern of rock grains
is called what?
Texture.
Back to Menu
A rock like Pumice has many holes in it and can be described as _______. How does
this affect its density?
Porous. This makes the rock
less dense and able to float in water.
Back to Menu
What is the texture of a rock with visible, large
grains?Small grains, easier to see with a hand lens?
1. Coarse-grained2. Fine-grained
Back to Menu
How can a rock have no grains?
Give an example.
If rock cools very quickly, large crystals will not form, resulting in smooth, glassy
texture. Ex: Obsidian.Final

How are Igneous rocks classified?
1. Origin2. Texture3. Mineral Composition
Back to Menu
What are the 2 origins an Igneous rock can have,
and where are they?
Intrusive & Extrusive; inside the crust and on
the surface.
Back to Menu
An Igneous rock texture that has widely varying
sizes of crystals.
Porphyritic.
Back to Menu
What compound changes the color of rock?
How does the color change when the amount of compound
increases / decreases?
Silica - more Silica gives a lighter color. Less Silica
gives a darker color.

What are the 3 types of Sedimentary
rocks?
Back to Menu
1. Clastic2. Organic3. Chemical
What is sediment and how is it created?
Back to Menu
Sediment: pieces of material from rock or living things. Created by weathering.
What are the 2 types of weathering? Give 2 examples of each.
Back to Menu
Mechanical / Physical1.Abrasion2.Plants3.Animals4.Freezing / Thawing
Chemical1.Water2.Acid Rain3.Carbon Dioxide (CO2)4.Oxygen (Rust)
Describe the differences between Clastic, Organic,
& Chemical rock.
•ClasticClastic: formed mainly through compaction•OrganicOrganic: contains remains of once living creatures•ChemicalChemical: forms from solution - evaporation
Back to Menu
List and describe the 5 steps that form
Sedimentary rocks.
1. WeatheringWeathering: breaking rocks down into sediment
2. ErosionErosion: carrying sediments by wind or water
3. DepositionDeposition: when sediment is “dropped off”4. CompactionCompaction: layers of rock pressing
together5. CementationCementation: solution crystallizes, gluing
sediment together

What are the 2 driving forces of Metamorphism?
Heat & Pressure
Back to Menu
True or False: Continental crust is made mostly of
gneiss and the oceanic crust is made mainly from schist.If false, how would you make this If false, how would you make this
statement true?statement true?
False: continental crust is made of Granite & oceanic crust is made
from Basalt.
Back to Menu
What are the Metamorphic forms of Limestone, Shale, &
Granite?
1. Marble2. Slate3. Schist / Gneiss
Back to Menu
What are the 2 classifications of metamorphic rocks?
Describe them.
Foliated & Non-foliated. Foliated has grains arranged in layers. Non-foliated has grains
that are randomly placed.
Back to Menu
What are 5 things that are most likely to
change when a rock becomes Metamorphic?
1. Appearance2. Texture3. Crystal structure4. Mineral composition5. Density
Final Jeopardy
Back to Menu
What is the Rock Cycle?
An ongoing process at & beneath the surface that is constantly building and
destroying rocks of all types.
Back to Menu
True or False: the rock cycle only operates in one
direction. Explain.
False: rocks can move along the rock cycle in any direction if the environment permits.
Uplift can expose Igneous, Metamorphic or Sedimentary rocks at any time, and all rocks
can be buried further under the surface.
Back to Menu
What major type of rock would most likely have fossils? Why would the other types of rock not
have fossils?
Sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks come from molten material, so the
fossils would be destroyed. Metamorphic rocks might contain
fossils, but are less likely to.
Back to Menu
Describe 2 ways an Igneous rock can become
a Metamorphic rock.
•Can be ExtrusiveExtrusive, gets weathered, compacted into Sedimentary rock, then buried deeper and metamorphose.•Can be IntrusiveIntrusive, remain buried, then undergo metamorphism.
Back to Menu
Describe a texture associated with each major type of rock.
1. Igneous is notable for Porphyritic texture (large & small crystals)
2. Sedimentary rock like limestone is rich with fossils
3. Metamorphic rock often has layers
