  2. $100 Question from H1 This is a naturally occurring solid mixture composed of minerals, small rock fragments, organic matter, or glass.

  3. $100 Answer from H1 What is rock?

  4. $200 Question from H1 This rock type builds up in layers.

  5. $200 Answer from H1 What is sedimentary rock?

  6. $300 Question from H1 A rock type formed underground, through heat and pressure.

  7. $300 Answer from H1 What is metamorphic rock?

  8. $400 Question from H1 These are the individual particles in a rock.

  9. $400 Answer from H1 What is grain?

  10. $500 Question from H1 Earths most abundant rocks, formed from melted rock that cools and hardens

  11. $500 Answer from H1 What is igneous rock?

  12. $100 Question from H2 This material, also called molten rock while inside the earth.

  13. $100 Answer from H2 What is magma?

  14. $200 Question from H2 This type of molten rock erupts onto Earth’s surface.

  15. $200 Answer from H2 What is lava?

  16. $300 Question from H2 This process or processes in molten rock creates igneous rock.

  17. $300 Answer from H2 What is cooling and hardening?

  18. $400 Question from H2 The rate at which lava cools controls the size of this within igneous rocks.

  19. $400 Answer from H2 What is crystals or crystal formation?

  20. $500 Question from H2 Geologists classify igneous rocks by this; it refers to grain size and grain arrangement.

  21. $500 Answer from H2 What is texture?

  22. $100 Question from H3 Rock and mineral fragments that are loose or suspended in water, mineral or organic matter deposited by water, air, or ice are called.

  23. $100 Answer from H3 What are sediments?

  24. $200 Question from H3 The process by which rock sediments are removed and transported away by water, wind, or ice.

  25. $200 Answer from H3 What is erosion?

  26. $300 Question from H3 The conditions in the air above the Earth such as wind, rain or temperature, especially at a particular time over a particular area

  27. $300 Answer from H3 What is weather?

  28. $400 Question from H3 The process by which unconsolidated material converts into coherent, solid rock, through compaction or cementation; this process turns sediment into rock.

  29. $400 Answer from H3 What is lithification?

  30. $500 Question from H3 This process physically breaks rocks down into smaller and smaller pieces while another process involves a reaction with water that decomposes rock into smaller pieces

  31. $500 Answer from H3 What is mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?

  32. $100 Question from H4 Metamorphic rocks form when parent rocks go through this process

  33. $100 Answer from H4 What is squeezed, heated, or exposed to hot fluids.?

  34. $200 Question from H4 Each metamorphic rock has one of these.

  35. $200 Answer from H4 What is a parent rock?

  36. $300 Question from H4 This results when uneven pressures cause flat minerals to line up, giving the rock a layered appearance.

  37. $300 Answer from H4 What is foliation?

  38. $400 Question from H4 In this process the rocks do not melt. They remain solid, but the texture and, sometimes, the mineral composition of the parent rock change.

  39. $400 Answer from H4 Wh is metamorphism?

  40. $500 Question from H4 The most obvious characteristic in metamorphic Rocks but not present in all metamorphic rocks

  41. $500 Answer from H4 What is foliation?

  42. $100 Question from H5 Cement is made from limestone, which contains tiny sediments this is known as what type of rock.

  43. $100 Answer from H5 What is sedimentary rock?

  44. $200 Question from H5 This type of rock, through cooling and hardening, forms glass.

  45. $200 Answer from H5 What is igneous rock?

  46. $300 Question from H5 Rocks that are squeezed, heated, or exposed to hot fluids create rocks like marble that are commonly used to make statues.

  47. $300 Answer from H5 What is metamorphic rock?

  48. $400 Question from H5 This process creates sedimentary rock, through compaction and/or cementation.

  49. $400 Answer from H5 What is lithification?

  50. $500 Question from H5 Over thousands of years, each type of rock can change into one of the others, this process is called.
