Metamorphic Rock
What are 2 types of metamorphic rock
What is Gneiss and Marble
What are 2 types of sedimentary rocks
Sandstone and limestone
How are igneous rocks made
When lava cools and crystallizes
What is the definition of deposition
laying down or settling of eroded material
What is compaction and cementation
compaction the weight from layers of sediment forces out fluids and decreases the space between grains during a process
cementation When minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains
What is metamorphic rock made out of
Metamorphic rock changes by high temperature and pressure
How are sedimentary rocks made
What is when rocks are laid down where they can accumulate layers
What are 2 types of igneous rock
What is Obsidian and Granite
What is the definition of clastic
Sedimentary rocks that are made up of broken pieces of minerals and fragments
What is the definition of uplift
The process that moves large bodies of Earth materials to a higher elevation
What is the definition of plastic deformation
What is chemical and biochemical rock
Chemical Form when minerals crystallize directly from water
Biochemical is a sedimentary rock that was formed by organisms or contains the remains of organisms
What is the definition of magma
molten rock stored beneath Earth's surface
What is the definition of weathering
The mechanical and chemical processes that change objects on Earth's surface over time
What is the definition of mechanical and contact weathering
contact Changes the materials that are part of a rock into new materials
mechanical When physical processes naturally break rocks into smaller pieces
How can you identify a metamorphic rock
What is when there is changes in temperature,pressure,or the addition of chemical fluids
How are Sedimentary Rocks classified
What is how they form
What is volcanic glass
when rocks form when lava cools to quickly to form crystals
What is the definition of clast
What is broken pieces and fragments
What is a foliated rock and nonfoliated rock
foliated rock contain parallel layers of flat and elongated minerals
nonfoliated rock Metamorphic rocks that have mineral grains with a random, interlocking texture
What is regional metamorphism and contact metamorphism
What is regional :is the formation of metamorphic rock bodies that are hundreds of square kilometers in size
contact magma comes in contact with existing rock, and its thermal energy and gases interact with the surrounding rock,forming new metamorphic rock
What is a type of biochemical rock
What is coal
What are intrusive and extrusive rocks
Intrusive Igneous rocks that form as magma cools underground
Extrusive When volcanic material erupts and cools and crystallizes on earth's surface
What are ways that things can be moved by deposition
What is wind, rivers, lakes, oceans, or ice
What is the rock cycle in order
What is weathering, erosion, deposition, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock, magma, igneous rock, uplift
