Words misspelled will result in -1 point since they are being copied from the book. 1. Scientists who are called eulogist _ study rocks to learn about the Earth's history. (page159) 2. Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of sediment. (Page 159) 3. gneous rocks are forms from volcanoes. (Page 159) 4. Metamorphic rocks are formed from heat and pressure. (Page 159) 5. A rock's p h y s i c a l characteristics come from the way it was formed. (Page 159) 6. A RocK _ is a solid piece of the Earth's surface made of one or more minerals. (Page 159) 7. A mineral is a natural solid found on Earth's surface that is not plant or animal. (Page 159) 8. The processes by which rocks change into new rocks make up the rockcycle _? (Page 159) 9. Weathering, deposition, compaction, and cementation form sedimentary rock. (Page 159) 10. Changing from one rock type to another takes Millions years, but it gives scientists clues to the past environment where that rock formed. (Page 159) 21. Igneous rocks form from Magma _? (Page 160) 12. When magma erupts form a volcano or comes to the surface, it is known as l a v a ? (Page 160) 13.g r a n i t e is an example of an igneous rock that forms below the surface. (Page 160) 14. Pumice is a rock that is so light it can float on water. (Page 160) 15. Sedimentary rocks form from sediment. (Page 162) 26. Surface forces break down rocks in a process called Weathering _. (Page 161) 17. Metamorphic rocks form from heat _ and pressure _? (Page 162) 28. Fossil form in Sedimentary ROCK ?
