Final Jeopardy

$100 Question from H1

This is a naturally occurring solid mixture composed of minerals, small rock fragments, organic

matter, or glass.

$100 Answer from H1

What is rock?

$200 Question from H1

This rock type builds up in layers.

$200 Answer from H1

What is sedimentary rock?

$300 Question from H1

A rock type formed underground, through heat and pressure.

$300 Answer from H1

What is metamorphic rock?

$400 Question from H1

These are the individual particles in a rock.

$400 Answer from H1

What is grain?

$500 Question from H1

Earths most abundant rocks, formed from melted rock that

cools and hardens

$500 Answer from H1

What is igneous rock?

$100 Question from H2

This material, also called molten rock while inside the earth.

$100 Answer from H2

What is magma?

$200 Question from H2

This type of molten rock erupts onto Earth’s surface.

$200 Answer from H2

What is lava?

$300 Question from H2

This process or processes in molten rock

creates igneous rock.

$300 Answer from H2

What is cooling and hardening?

$400 Question from H2

The rate at which lava cools controls the size of this within

igneous rocks.

$400 Answer from H2

What is crystals or crystal formation?

$500 Question from H2

Geologists classify igneous rocks by this; it refers to

grain size and grain arrangement.

$500 Answer from H2

What is texture?

$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.

$100 Answer from H3

What are sediments?

$200 Question from H3

The process by which rock sediments are removed and

transported away by water, wind, or ice.

$200 Answer from H3

What is erosion?

$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

$300 Answer from H3

What is weather?

$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.

$400 Answer from H3

What is lithification?

$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

$500 Answer from H3

What is mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?

$100 Question from H4

Metamorphic rocks form when parent rocks go through this

process

$100 Answer from H4

What is squeezed, heated, or exposed to hot fluids.?

$200 Question from H4

Each metamorphic rock has one of these.

$200 Answer from H4

What is a parent rock?

$300 Question from H4

This results when uneven pressures cause flat minerals to line up,

giving the rock a layered appearance.

$300 Answer from H4

What is foliation?

$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.

$400 Answer from H4

Wh is metamorphism?

$500 Question from H4

The most obvious characteristic in metamorphic Rocks but not present in all

metamorphic rocks

$500 Answer from H4

What is foliation?

$100 Question from H5

Cement is made from limestone, which contains tiny sediments this is known as what type of

rock.

$100 Answer from H5

What is sedimentary rock?

$200 Question from H5

This type of rock, through cooling and hardening, forms

glass.

$200 Answer from H5

What is igneous rock?

$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.

$300 Answer from H5

What is metamorphic rock?

$400 Question from H5

This process creates sedimentary rock, through compaction and/or

cementation.

$400 Answer from H5

What is lithification?

$500 Question from H5

Over thousands of years, each type of rock can change into

one of the others, this process is called.

$500 Answer from H5

What is the Rock Cycle?

Final JeopardyThis is the natural process that

decays or breaks substances into smaller parts, and this is the

natural process of depositing a substance onto rocks or soil.

Final Jeopardy Answer

What is decomposition and deposition?
