Rock Type I form either inside or outside of the volcano.—IGNEOUS ROCK I am the only rock type that has fossils.—SEDIMENTARY ROCK I am found deep down in the earth but I never melt (I do turn to gum though.)—METAMORPHIC ROCK I am formed when sediment (mud, sand, silt) builds up over millions of years.—SEDIMENTARY ROCK I am formed outside of a volcano.—EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK Fossils A _CAST_____ is a replica/remineralization of what the fossil originally looked like. A _MOLD_____ is a print or impression such as a footprint. How old do most people think the earth is? 4.6 BILLION YEARS OLD The law of _SUPERPOSITION____ states that the dipper I dig the older the rock. Oldest to Youngest= L, Z, A, Fault, Q, D Plate Tectonics When two plates slide side by side it is called a _TRANSFORM__ boundary. When plates move apart it is called a _DIVERGENT__ boundary. When plates move together it is called a _CONVERGENT__ boundary. Islands only form along plate boundaries. FALSE The _CRUST____ is divided into _PLATES__. Va Regions The beaches are here.—COASTAL PLAIN We live here.--PIEDMONT The tallest and oldest mountains are found here.—BLUE RIDGE Sinkholes and Caves are found here.—VALLEY AND RIDGE Coal is found here.—APPALACHIAN PLATEAU Rock or Mineral ID It is called the __HARDNESS___ test when you scratch the rock or mineral with your fingernail, penny, glass, etc. What is the name of fool’s gold? PYRITE _LUSTER____ is how the light shimmers on the rock or mineral. What mineral smells like rotten eggs? SULFUR If a rock or mineral has a lot of air pockets inside, then it has a low _DENSITY____.
