This is the process that turns rock into sediments.

This type of rock is formed when bits of weathered rock and other materials are pressed into layers.
What is sedimentary rock?

This is the process that turns magma into igneous rock.
What is cooling?

This type of rock is formed when heat and pressure change a different kind of rock.
What is metamorphic rock?

This is the process that turns one kind of rock into metamorphic rock.
What is Metamorphism (heat and pressure)?

This type of rock is formed when magma cools outside the earth's surface.
What is extrusive igneous rock?
400
This is the process that turns sediments into sedimentary rock.
What is Lithofication?
400
This characteristic is found in rocks that are covered with small, flat surfaces that are sparkly.
What is crystals?

Why minerals are different
the crystal structure and organization of atoms
500
This type of rock is formed when magma cools and hardens inside the earth's surface.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
500
Describe the process of Lithofication.
What is... 1) Sediments are carried and deposited at the bottom of bodies of water or valleys. 2) The sediments form layers over time. 3)The pressure from the above layers cements the lower layers into rock, voila! Sedimentary Rock!
