Question

part 2: matching
match the term to the correct definition.
a. igneous
b. sedimentary
c. metamorphic
d. crystal
e. plate tectonics
f. fault
g. volcano
h. strata
i. magma
j. fossil

1. layers of rock often seen in the grand canyon
2. molten rock beneath earths surface
3. preserved remains of once - living things
4. rock formed by cooling of molten material
5. break or crack in earths crust
6. rock formed by pressure and heat, but not melted
7. rock formed by compaction/cementation of sediments
8. beautiful solid form with repeating structure
9. large crack in earth where plates move
10. theory that earths surface is broken into moving plates

part 3: diagrams

1. create the diagram of the rock cycle. (provide a blank cycle with arrows—students fill in \igneous,\ \sedimentary,\ \metamorphic,\ processes like \melting,\ \erosion,\ etc.)
2. draw & label the cross - section of earths layers (crust, mantle, outer core, inner core).

Explanation:

1. Strata are layers of rock, so 1 matches H.
2. Magma is molten rock beneath Earth's surface, so 2 matches I.
3. Fossils are preserved remains of once - living things, so 3 matches J.
4. Igneous rock is formed by cooling of molten material, so 4 matches A.
5. A fault is a break or crack in Earth's crust, so 5 matches F.
6. Metamorphic rock is formed by pressure and heat but not melted, so 6 matches C.
7. Sedimentary rock is formed by compaction/cementation of sediments, so 7 matches B.
8. A crystal is a beautiful solid form with repeating structure, so 8 matches D.
9. A large crack in Earth where plates move is related to plate tectonics, so 9 matches E.
10. The theory that Earth's surface is broken into moving plates is plate tectonics, so 10 matches E.

Answer:

1. H. Strata
2. I. Magma
3. J. Fossil
4. A. Igneous
5. F. Fault
6. C. Metamorphic
7. B. Sedimentary
8. D. Crystal
9. E. Plate Tectonics
10. E. Plate Tectonics
