Four classes used to identify colors in igneous rock.
What are felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic rocks?
What is uplift?
This rock came from small particles of other rocks.
What is sedimentary rock?
What is a metamorphic rock.
Igneous rocks are formed by this.
What is magma?
The textures of igneous rock.
What are fragmental, glassy, fine, and phaneritic rock.
Sediments becoming buried in the Earth.
What is deposition and burial?
Large, obvious particles in rock.
What is coarse rock?
Two processes that start metamorphoses.
What is heat and pressure?
The two things used to classify igneous rocks.
What are color and texture?
Three textures of sedimentary rock.
What are fine, medium, and coarse.
Intrusive and extrusive rocks.
What is igneous?
The two processes that create sedimentary rock from sediment.
The pre-existing rock before metamorphoses.
What is a parent rock?
The fastest cooling magma.
What are ashes and cinders?
Five structures of sedimentary rock.
What are fragmental, granular, crystalline, glassy, and resinous rock?
Word for glueing or sticking.
What is cementation?
Four particle sizes
What are boulder, cobble, pebble and silt?
Rocks with cleave along their layers.
What is a foilated rock?
Coarse textured igneous rock.
What is phaneritic rock?
One rock that can be fine to coarse grained.
What is marble?
What is metamorphism?
Three types of sedimentary rocks.
What are Clastic, Chemical, and Organic?
The parent rock of schist.
