Rock Cycle
100
When minerals dissolve in water crystallizes between sediment grains.
What is cementation
100
Broken pieces and fragments
What are clasts
100
What do Igneous rocks form from?
What is magma and lava
100
Rocks that have mineral grains with a random, interlocking texture.
What is nonfoliated rock
100
The main types of rock.
What is sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock, and igneous rock.
200
The weight from the layers of sediment forces out fluids and decreased the space between grains.
What is compaction
200
Rocks that are made up of broken pieces of minerals and rock fragments.
What are clastic rocks
200
The difference between lava and magma
What is lava forms above ground and magma forms bellow Earth's surface
200
Contains parallel layers of flat and elongated minerals.
What is foliated rocks.
200
Where rocks melt on Earth.
What is below Earth's surface
300
The natural force that makes sedimentary rocks become sediment?
What is weathering and erosion
300
Form when minerals crystallize directly from water.
What is chemical rock
300
The difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rock.
What are intrusive rocks form below Earth's surface and extrusive rocks form above Earth's surface
300
Permanent changes in shape by bending and folding.
What is plastic deformation
300
A mixture of minerals, organic matter, volcanic glass, or other materials.
What is rock
400
Tectonic process that forces rocks onto Earth's surface.
What is uplift
400
Rock that was formed by organisms or contains the remains of organisms
What is biochemical
400
Igneous rocks with small crystals that you can't see with the naked eye.
What are extrusive rocks
400
The two types of texture to classify metamorphic rocks.
What is foliated and nonfoliated
400
Two ways to classify rocks.
What is texture and composition
500
The force that makes rock become metamorphic rock.
What is heat and pressure
500
The difference between chemical rock and clastic rock.
What is chemical rock's minerals crystallize directly from water and clastic rocks are made of clasts of minerals of rock fragments.
500
Igneous rocks with large crystals.
What are intrusive rocks
500
When magma comes in contact with existing rock but doesn't melt. The formation of metamorphic bodies that are hundreds of square
What is contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism
500
All of the natural forces that turn rocks into different rocks.
What is compaction, cementation, heat, pressure, melting, cooling, weathering, erosion,
