1.) James Hutton is considered the "father of geology".
A.) What theory did James Hutton developed?
ANSWER: He developed the rock cycle.
B.) What is the main concept behind this theory?
ANSWER: The rock cycle is a fundamental concept in geology that describes the dynamic transitions through geologic time along the three main rock types; sedimentary, metamorphic,and igneous.
2.) Igneous rocks are often found along volcanoes and plate boundaries.
A.) What material do igneous rocks form from?
ANSWER: Magma or Lava.
B.) What is the difference between the formation of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks/
ANSWER: Intrusive: igneous rocks cooled below the surface of the plant.
Extrusive: rocks are formed of magma or about the surface of the
plant.
3.) What processes occur that change a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
ANSWER: Sedimentary rock can e turned into lave or magma by contact with either of the substances or exposure to extreme hear when lava or magma cools, i becomes igneous rock.
4.) What are three ways sedimentary rocks can form?
ANSWER: Biologically, chemically, and mechanically.
5.) What three factors can change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
ANSWER: Heat, pressure & chemically active fluids.
6.) Describe three actions caused by the force of water that help drive the rock cycle.
ANSWER: Running water can (1) erode rock into smaller rock fragments, (2) dissolve rock into minerals, both of which can be redeposited as sedimentary rock, and (3) carried to the ocean to be melted at sub-ducting plates.
7.) What processes found at a convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
A.) Metamorphic rocks: means that the rocks have been geophysicno
B.) Igneous rocks: Heat and pressure: melting; and weathering.
8.) What processes found at a divergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
A.) Metamorphic rocks: Upwelling magma.
B.) Igneous rocks: Heat
C.) Sedimentary rocks: Lava.
9.) What event found at a transform boundary will help form metamorphic rocks?
ANSWER: Metamorphic rocks form when rocks change after undergoing extreme pressure or temperature increase. These temperature changes must be hot enough to reorganize matter within the rock but not hot enough to melt it.
