This type of rock is formed from deposition of sediment.
What is a sedimentary rock.
100
This is what sedimentary rocks start off as.
What is sediment.
100
These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.
What is any type of rock (sedimentary, igneous, or other metamorphic rock).
100
Igneous rocks can be found around or in these.
What is a volcano.
100
The movement of sediment.
What is erosion.
200
This rock is formed from the cooling of magma of lava.
What is an igneous rock.
200
What are the three types of sedimentary rocks?
What is clastic, organic, chemical.
200
These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
What is heat and pressure.
200
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types.
What is extrusive and intrusive.
200
This is the breaking off of sediment from rock or a landform.
What is weathering.
300
This rock is formed by heat and pressure put onto any type of rock.
What is a metamorphic rock.
300
This type of sedimentary rock is formed from living things, such as plants, or fossils.
What is an organic sedimentary rock.
300
These are the two categories that metamorphic rocks can be put into.
What is foliated and non-foliated.
300
This type of igneous rock is formed inside of the volcano.
What is intrusive.
300
This is the laying down of sediment.
What is deposition.
400
The three categories all rocks can be put into.
What is sedimentary, igneous metamorphic.
400
This type of sedimentary rock forms by evaporation of minerals from water
What is chemical sedimentary rock.
400
This type of metamorphic rock is banded.
What is foliated.
400
This type of igneous rock is formed outside of the volcano.
What is extrusive igneous rock.
400
This is process involves sediment grains getting squished together, reducing the size of the original pore space that divided them
What is compaction.
500
A rock that was sediment, then went under pressure, then was melted down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.
What is an igneous rock (intrusive).
500
This type of sedimentary rock is made up of pieces of other rocks or sediments.
What is a clastic sedimentary rock.
500
This type of metamorphic rock has no bands, grains are arranged in random order.
What is non-foliated.
500
________ is an igneous rock with large crystals or grains that are easy to see; __________ is an igneous rock with small fine grains.
What is intrusive; extrusive.
500
The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue sediment grains together.
What is cementation.
