It is a solid material, made of one substance, that occurs naturally on Earth.

This is the measurement of how tightly a material is packed together

A solid mass of geological materials made from interlocking mineral crystals that fit tightly together whereas others are made up from broken fragments, or grains, and minerals which have been cemented together.

___________ is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a substance as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. 

A Scottish geologist, agriculturalist, chemical manufacturer, naturalist and physician that contributed to the concept of the rock cycle.

If a rock has undergone the process of lithification, it's most likely which type of rock?

These are types of rocks that were formed by crystallizing melted material.

Which of the following examples of intrusive igneous rocks does NOT belong to the group?

It is a process of sedimentary rock that is the laying down of sediments carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice.

What type of sedimentary rock composed of materials formed by the activity of living organisms such as coal and many limestones which are made up of the shells or other skeletal fragments from marine organisms?

A type of rocks that result from the alteration of preexisting rocks in response to changing environmental conditions, such as variations in temperature, pressure, and mechanical stress, and the addition or subtraction of chemical components.

Coal is a natural resource that forms from the chemical change and compaction of dead, organic matter over long periods of time. This would qualify coal as?

It is a type of metamorphism that is caused by extremely high shear stress, such as that found at fault zones. It also occurs at relatively moderate temperatures and consists mostly of the physical changes that occur in a rock under shear stress.

 Which of the following sets would you expect to find layering in the rock?

These are materials from the Earth that are used to support life and meet people's needs.

 It is an example of renewable resources that is a form of fuel that is a mixture of gasses such as methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and other gasses produced by the breakdown of animal and plant wastes.  

These energy resources are also known as conventional (traditional) energy resources. It cannot be replenished when these sources are exhausted because these resources are present in limited amounts and take a long period of time to resynthesize.

What is the main difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?

What form of renewable energy resources obtained from the earth’s core that were continuously produced due to collision of tectonic plates and due to decay of radioactive materials.

 All are examples of Nonrenewable energy sources EXCEPT…
