The presence of hot, watery fluid, heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rock
100
one type of rock becomes another
What is the rock cycle
100
quartz inside granite
What is a mineral?
200
Intrusive with large crystals
What does magma form that has slowly cooled below the surface of the volcano?
200
Formed when loose materials become pressed or cemented together or when sediments form from solutions and water vaporizes leaving crystals behind.
What is sedimentary rock?
200
foliated or non foliated
What is the classification of metamorphic rock

less dense than surrounding solid rock
What causes Magma from deep within earth to rise?
200
sandstone, rock salt and limestone
What are examples of sedimentary rock
300
extrusive igneous
What is magma that has cooled above the surface of the volcano?
300
made from broken fragments of other rocks with a certain shape and size of sediment
What are detrital rocks?
300
Undergoes an exchange of atoms between minerals,the formation of new,bigger minerals, and the flattening of mineral grains
What are metamorphic rock changes?
300
Layers
What are foliated rocks distinguished by?

What is organic sedimentary?
400
Molten material deep inside the earth
What is Magma?
400
sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of once living things
What is organic?
400
Metamorphic rock that shows layers of dark minerals alternating with layers of light minerals
What is classified as foliated?
400
Mixture of minerals, organic matter, volcanic glass, or other materials
What is rock?
400
scoria, basalt and pumice
What is fine grained extrusive rock?
500
radioactive elements
What causes pressure and heat that produces magma
500
The process in which pressure from the upper layers of sediment pushes down on the lower layers, causing the sediments to stick together and form solid rock
What is sedimentary rock?
500
Gneiss and Slate
What are examples of metamorphic rock?
500
Changes that take place in rock never create or destroy
