Part II: How to use our vocabulary words (all words will be used, no words will be repeated).
1-3. Sedimentary rocks often occur in layers because of the processes that form them like, _____________, when sediments are
dropped off, ________________, from sediments pressing on sediments below, and finally, _____________, when sediments are
glued together by minerals .
4. All rocks are classified by both their texture and ________________ that is determined by the substances that make them up.
5. Teachers use Google classroom as a _______________________ tool to share information about class and work with students.
6. Sedimentary rocks that form from the remains of living things are called ______________ .
7. Sedimentary rocks that form when sediments or fragments of other rocks are cemented together are called
_________________.
8. The noise from the explosion of Krakatoa, a _____________ island in Indonesia that blew up in 1883, was so loud that it was
heard 3000 miles away.
9. Japan is made up of a volcanic island chain where two ______________ plates converge or come together on the ocean floor.
10. We study ________________________ rocks after igneous and sedimentary rocks because they form when existing rock is
changed in form by exposure to heat and pressure.
Part III: True/False (if false, change the statement to make it true).
___1. Igneous rocks are formed from existing rocks that change into new rock after being exposed to extreme heat and pressure.
___2. Clastic sedimentary rocks are different from the other types of sedimentary rocks because they are formed from the remains
of living things.
___3. Clear communication is important between countries to maintain peace.
___4. Oceanic crust that is made mostly of basalt is more dense than continental crust that is mostly granite.
