Speed Match Review Game

This game has been played 68 times
The best time ever was -1' at 1 seconds.
The best time today is at seconds.
How To Play:
Drag the squares in the gray area and drop them in the matching squares in the blue area below.
If you drop a square in the correct spot, it will disappear.
If you make a mistake, the square will return to its original spot.
Good luck!

According to the diagram, an igneous rock is formed from this

According to the diagram, this is the sequence of fossils from oldest to youngest.

This is the elevation of the pink dot.

This is another geologic event that can occur in earthquake prone areas.

The arrows on the map represent this.

This explains why these fossils are not the same age.

This is the lowest elevation shown on this map. 

This is neither the oldest nor the youngest rock layer.

According to the diagram, these two processes must occur in order to change sedimentary rock into magma.

These are three geologic events that occur when lithospheric plates converge or diverge.

According to the table, this mineral is soft, has a colorless or white streak, and bubbles when reacting with acid.

This must happen for an earthquake to occur.

According to the diagram, this was the probable amount of rainfall, in inches, for Waterbury, Vermont, for that year.


Any rock can be turned into a sedimentary rock by

The following four statements were made about a rock:

 

- The rock is mostly gray with white speckles on the outside surface.

- Fossil shells embedded in the rock can be seen with a hand lens.

- The rock has a smooth surface.

- The smooth surface is most likely the result of weathering and erosion over many years.

 

Of the above, this statement supports the conclusion that this rock is sedimentary.

This is one of the geologic event that occurs near this type of crustal plate boundary.

This theory is used to explain movement of crustal plates.

This is the elevation of the green dot

dThis is the elevation indicated by the blue dot.

According to this diagram, the dinosaurs are not the oldest fossils becuase

This is the youngest fossil shown in the diagram.

The diagram shows two locations where fossils of Mesosaurus have been found.

This can be explained by

Rocks that have the same chemical makeup can be classified as different rocks for this reason.

According to the diagram, these two processes must occur in order to change igneous rock into metamorphic rock.

Fossils can be found in this type of rock.
