Rock Cycle & Review Resources

Today we examined the rock cycle briefly, took a look at some rock samples, and then worked on some practice questions for the test next day.

Here is the powerpoint that we looked at today on the rock cycle.

Here is the practice Multiple Choice answers.  Reminder that some of the questions are challenge terms and not required - (batholith, laccolith, sill and dike, as well as syncline/anticline).  Also remember that:

  • Tearing is a synonym with Transform fault
  • Compression is used interchangeably with convergence
  • THE LAST PAGE IS A SUPER-CHALLENGE -FOR FUN - ITS A RELATIVE DATING ACTIVITY.  DON'T STRESS IF YOU DON'T GET IT. 
UPDATE - last page doesn't have answers.  Here they are: 
26. A
27. B
28. B
29. B
30. D
31. A


Please take a look at the previous posts to find powerpoints we've used in class, and other resources that you could use to review.
