4Grand Canyon 100
- The explorer who first mapped the Colorado River
Area.
Who is John Wesley Powell?
5Grand Canyon 200
- The mineral that causes limestone to react with
acid.
What is calcite (calcium carbonate)?
6Grand 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?
7Grand Canyon 400
- The process where geologists compare and connect
rock layers in one area to rock layers in another
area.
What is correlation?
8Grand Canyon 500
- The principle that explains why most sedimentary
rock is deposited in horizontal layers.
What is the principal of original
horizontality?
9Geology 100
- The process that formed the Grand Canyon.
What is erosion by the Colorado River?
10Geology 200
- A kind of model scientists draw to show the
sequence of rock layers from a particular area.
What is a rock column?
11Geology 300
- The type of rock where you will typically find
fossils.
What is sedimentary rock?
12Geology 400
- Why sedimentary rock layers are sometimes not
horizontal.
What is the effects of a catastrophic event
such as faulting, folding or tipping?
13Geology
- The process where scientists study evidence in
rocks and the earth to make inferences about the
Earth History. -
What is uniformitarianism?
14Erosion 100
- The materials that are broken down and
transported by weathering and erosion.
What is sediment?
15Erosion 200
- Two different types of weathering.
What are physical and chemical?
16Erosion 300
- Different ways for transportation/ deposition of
sediments.
What are wind, water and ice.
17Erosion 400
- The two responding variables in our erosion
investigation.
What are the mass of the source rock and the mass
of the sediment?
18Erosion 500.
- The process where grains of sand are compacted
and cemented into sandstone.
What is lithification?
19Vocabulary100
- Fossils that help geologists determine the age of
rock layers.
What is an index fossil?
20Vocabulary 200
- A rock made from clay and silt and often
containing plant fossils.
What is shale?
21Vocabulary 300
- A low-lying landform area where sediments are
deposited to form layers.
What is a basin?
22Vocabulary 400
- A large, nearly level area of land that has been
uplifted above the surrounding area.
What is a plateau?
23Vocabulary 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?
24Rock Cycle 100
- Type of rock that has formed because of heat and
pressure.
What are metamorphic rocks?
25Rock Cycle 200
- Type of rock that forms from magma.
What are igneous rocks?
26Rock 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.
27Rock Cycle 500
- Limestone, shale and sandstone are examples of
this type of rock.
What is sedimentary rock?
