_____ happens when the sediments settles out of whatever is carrying it and is dropped off in a new location.
Deposition happens when the sediments settles out of whatever is carrying it and is dropped off in a new location.
What are the two types of metamorphic rocks?
Foliated and Non- Foliated
What is a metamorphic rock?
A rock that has went through heat and pressure deep below Earth's surface, and can change into any rock.
For a sedimentary rock to change into a metamorphic rock it must go through ____ and ______.
For a sedimentary rock to change into a metamorphic rock it must go through heat and pressure.
Rocks that form from magma BELOW the Earth's surface are called ______ igneous rock. These types or rocks have _____ - grained texture because the magma cools slowly under the ground and the grains have time to form.
Rocks that form from magma BELOW the Earth's surface are called Intrusive igneous rock. These types or rocks have fine - grained texture because the magma cools slowly under the ground and the grains have time to form.
