Minerals
This is an inorganic, naturally occurring solid, with a definite chemical composition
Mineral
Igneous rocks are made from the cooling and crystallization of ...
Magma/Lava
Weathering and erosion produce these.
Sediments
Metamorphic rocks are made by introducing a pre-existing rock to increased ____________ and ___________
Temperature and Pressure
Minerals are inorganic, which means they are not made from...
Living or once living organisms
Igneous rocks that are made by cooling and crystallizing UNDERGROUND are called...
Intrusive
These are the 2 types of weathering.
Physical and Chemical
Minerals change into new minerals and are stable under the new temperature and pressure conditions are called _____________________ alterations
Solid-state
Molten material that is found BELOW ground is called...
Magma
Igneous rocks that are made by cooling and crystallizing ABOVE GROUND are called...
Extrusive
The removal and transport of sediments is called this.
Erosion
These are the 3 grades of metamorphic rock
Low, intermediate, high
This describes how easily a mineral can be scratched
Hardness
Igneous rocks can be classified as basaltic, adesitic, or rhyolitic based on the amount of .... they contain
Silica
The characteristic horizontal layering of sedimentary rock is called this.
Bedding
When molten material comes into contact with solid rock, this type of metamorphism occurs
Contact metamorphism
We can consider a mineral this, if it is useful or profitable
Ore
If magma cools and crystallizes QUICKLY/RAPIDLY, the crystals will be this size
Small
This is the most common type of sedimentary rock
Clastic
When very hot water reacts with rock and alters its chemical and mineral composition, this type of metamorphism occurs.
Hydrothermal metamorphism
