Rock Cycle Web Quest http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/geology/rocks_intro.html What is a cycle? What 3 types of rocks make up the Rock Cycle? Draw and Label the Rock Cycle here: Sedimentary rocks make up about _________________________ of the rocks at the Earth’s surface. They form at the surface in environments such as ___________________________________________ and anywhere that sand, mud, and other types of sediment collect. What are clastic sedimentary rocks? What are organic sedimentary rocks made of? Igneous rocks form when ________________ rock cools and becomes solid. Molten rock is called __________ when it is below the Earth’s surface and ___________________ when it is above. Igneous rocks that form below the Earth’s surface are called ________________ igneous rocks (or plutonic). They form when magma enters an underground chamber, cools very _______________, and forms rocks full of ________ crystals. Igneous rocks that form _____ the Earth’s surface are called _________________ igneous rocks. These rocks, also called ________________________ rocks, form when lava cools quickly at or above the Earth’s surface Rocks metamorphose when they are in a place that is very _______________ and pressure is _______________ When a rock is metamorphosed, its mineral crystals _______________________________ . Often, flat minerals like mica become lined up _________________ (at a right angle) to the direction of ____________. When minerals within a metamorphic rock are organized this way, it is called ________________________________. Some metamorphic rocks are foliated and others are _______________________________________ Click on “contact metamorphism” and describe what it is and how it happens Define regional metamorphism Click on change a little and change a lot describe what metamorphic grade is Click on Rock left hand column it will take you back to original page of the Rock Cycle scroll down page until you see article “Newly-Found Rock May Prove Antarctica and North America Were Connected” read then write a summary paragraph on the article
