What Rock?
100
Uplift
What is a process that forces rock's onto Earth's surface.
100
All igneous rocks form from the cooling of this material.
What is molten rock or magma?
100
A process in which the weight of layers from layers of sediment forces out fluids and decreases grain space.
What is compaction?
100
Metamorphic rocks that have a random grain pattern; no layers.
What is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock?
100
A sedimentary rock that is made by angular pieces of clast.
What is breccia?
200
When an igneous goes through processes that turn it into sediment.
What is weathering and erosion?
200
An igneous rock that cools beneath Earth's surface.
What is an intrusive igneous rock?
200
Cementation
What is when minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains.
200
All metamorphic rocks form from (blank) rocks.
What is existing rocks.
200
A clastic sedimentary rocks thats grains were shaped by fast moving rivers.
What is conglomerate?
300
Studying a rock's (blank) can help scientists tell what type of rock it is.
What is texture?
300
This type of igneous rock forms above the surface.
What is extrusive?
300
A rock that crystallized directly from water.
What is a chemical sedimentary rock?
300
Metamorphic rocks that have multiple visible layers.
What is foliated.
300
A dark colored volcanic glass that very smooth and cools quickly.
What is obsidian?
400
Grains
What are fragments that make up a rock.
400
This type of igneous rock has very large crystals.
What is an intrusive igneous rock?
400
Seashells found inside a rock is an example of a (blank) sedimentary rock.
What is a biochemical rock?
400
Contact Metamorphism
What is a process when magma comes in contact with existing rocks and its thermal energy interacts with the surronding rock and changes it.
400
An igneous rock that had gases escape during uplift.
What is pumice?
500
Through this process, a metamorphic rock is able to turn into an igneous rock.
What is melting and cooling/crystallizing.
500
This type of igneous rock cools very quickly on the surface so that crystals are not able to form.
What is volcanic glass?
500
After a rock goes through weathering and erosion, this process occurs.
What is transportation?
500
(Blank) is used to explain how rocks can bend or fold without actually melting.
What is plastic deformation?
500
This sedimentary rocks is also know as "ancient sunshine."
What is coal?
