Rock Cycle
How does metamorphic rock get to magma?
melting
How many branches are there to sedimentary rock?
3
What are the 2 branches to Igneous rock?
Intrusive and Extrusive
What are the branches of metamorphic ?
Foiliated and nonfoilated
How does Igneous get to Metamorphic the quickest?
Heat and pressure
What are the 3 branches?
Chemical, Organic, and Detrital
How do igneous rocks form?
melted rock cools under earths surface
What does the word metamorphic mean?
Change form
How does sediment get to sedimentary?
Compaction and cementation
what are TWO examples of sedimentary?
Shale , Sandstone, marble, slate, Limestone
What is the difference of Intrusive and Extrusive
Intrusive cools under earths surface
Extrusive cools above earths surface
what does foilated have
It has layers and bands
Starting at sediment go through the rock cycle.
( without the shortcuts)
Sedimentary-heat and pressure=metamorphic then it melts to magma, then cools into Igneous, then weathering and erosion takes it back to sediment
How does sediment form?
They form by broken shells,rocks,mineral grains,and other mineral pieces
What is magma?
Magma is melted rock under earths surface
What does nonfoilated not have?
they don't have layers or bands
