Grand Canyon 100
  • The explorer who first mapped the Colorado River
    Area.

Who is John Wesley Powell?
5
Grand Canyon 200
  • .
  • The mineral that causes limestone to react with
    acid.

What is calcite (calcium carbonate)?
6
Grand Canyon 300
  • The principle that explains why rock layers on
    the bottom of a column of rock are older than
    layers on the top of the column.

What is the law of superposition?
7
Grand Canyon 400
  • The process where geologists compare and connect
    rock layers in one area to rock layers in another
    area.

What is correlation?
8
Grand Canyon 500
  • The principle that explains why most sedimentary
    rock is deposited in horizontal layers.

What is the principal of original
horizontality?
9
Geology 100
  • The process that formed the Grand Canyon.

What is erosion by the Colorado River?
10
Geology 200
  • A kind of model scientists draw to show the
    sequence of rock layers from a particular area.

What is a rock column?
11
Geology 300
  • The type of rock where you will typically find
    fossils.

What is sedimentary rock?
12
Geology 400
  • Why sedimentary rock layers are sometimes not
    horizontal.

What is the effects of a catastrophic event
such as faulting, folding or tipping?
13
Geology
  • The process where scientists study evidence in
    rocks and the earth to make inferences about the
    Earth History.

What is uniformitarianism?
14
Erosion 100
  • The materials that are broken down and
    transported by weathering and erosion.

What is sediment?
15
Erosion 200
  • Two different types of weathering.

What are physical and chemical?
16
Erosion 300
  • Different ways for transportation/ deposition of
    sediments.

What are wind, water and ice.
17
Erosion 400
  • The two responding variables in our erosion
    investigation.

What are the mass of the source rock and the mass
of the sediment?
18
Erosion 500.
  • The process where grains of sand are compacted
    and cemented into sandstone.

What is lithification?
19
Vocabulary100
  • Fossils that help geologists determine the age of
    rock layers.

What is an index fossil?
20
Vocabulary 200
  • A rock made from clay and silt and often
    containing plant fossils.

What is shale?
21
Vocabulary 300
  • A low-lying landform area where sediments are
    deposited to form layers.

What is a basin?
22
Vocabulary 400
  • A large, nearly level area of land that has been
    uplifted above the surrounding area.

What is a plateau?
23
Vocabulary 500
  • The process that happens when a landform is made
    of soft and hard rocks, and the rocks wear away
    at different rates.

What is differential erosion?
24
Rock Cycle 100
  • Type of rock that has formed because of heat and
    pressure.

What are metamorphic rocks?
25
Rock Cycle 200
  • Type of rock that forms from magma.

What are igneous rocks?
26
Rock Cycle 400
What is the mantle?
  • The large part of the Earth between the core and
    the crust analogous to the white of a hard
    boiled egg.

27
Rock Cycle 500
  • Limestone, shale and sandstone are examples of
    this type of rock.

What is sedimentary rock?
