(1.5) Rock Cycle What is the name of the process that turns sediment into compact sediment?

Transportation + Deposition

(1.5) Rock Cycle What is the name of the process that turns sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?

Deformation

(1.5) Rock Cycle What is the name of the process that turns magma into igneous rock?

Crysrallization + Solidification

(1.5) Rock Cycle What is the name of the process that turns compact sediment into sedimentary rock?

Lithification

(2.2) Principles of Relative Dating What is the Principle of Superposition?

The rocks on the bottom are older than the rocks on top. applies to most sedimentary rocks and some igneous rocks.

(2.2) Principles of Relative Dating What is the Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships?

The rock came before the cut.

(2.2) Principles of Relative Dating What is the Principle of Included Fragments?

The fragments are always older than the rock. class existed as sediment that later became part of a rock layer.

(2.2) Principles of Relative Dating What is the Principle of Contact Effects?

The sedimentary rock came before the igneous infusion.

(2.2) Principles of Relative Dating What is the Principle of Original Horizontality?

we know it that and movement in the layers like tilting happened after deposition because the layer are always horizontal first.

(2.2) Principles of Relative Dating What are the 5 principles of relative dating?

1. Superposition 2. Cross-Cutting Relationships 3. Included Fragments 4. Contact Effects 5. Original Horizontality

(2.5) Calculating Density How to calculate density of a block of wood?

- weigh it for mass - measure LxWxH for volume - divide mass by volume

(2.5) Calculating Density How to calculate density of a pebble?

- weigh it for mass - add to glass cylinder w/ measure markers and water - find volume by measuring how much water is displaced - divide mass by volume

(2.6) Weight vs. Density

Density = total mass/volume Weight = how much downward force something exerts

Can Metamorphic Rocks uplift to the surface?

yes

what is one way that the atmosphere affects the hydrosphere

water vapor condenses in the atmosphere creating rain and snow which can add more water to lakes rivers and oceans.

what is one way that the atmosphere affects the biosphere

provides oxygen to the biosphere

how does the atmosphere affect the lithosphere?

weathers rocks and soil

how does the hydrosphere affect the atmosphere?

Water evaporates from oceans and lakes, adding water vapor to the atmosphere.

how does the hydrophere affect the biosphere?

Water provides living things with the water they need to survive.

how does the hydrosphere affect the lithosphere?

Water causes weathering and erosion, breaking down and moving rocks and soil.

how does the biosphere affect the atmosphere?

Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis

how does the biosphere affect the hydrosphere?

Living things use and release water, helping move water through the water cycle

how does the biosphere affect the lithosphere?

lant roots can break apart rocks and soil as they grow.

how does the lithosphere affect the atmosphere?

Volcanoes release gases and ash into the atmosphere.

how does the lithosphere affect the hydrosphere?

Rocks and soil can change the path and flow of water.

how does the lithosphere affect the biosphere?

Soil provides nutrients and a place for plants to grow.
