Igneous Rocks
Name a type of Igneous rock.
What is Obsidian, Granite, Basalt, etc.?
Name a type of Metamorphic rock.
What is Gneiss, Phyllite, Schist, Slate, etc.?
Name a type of Sedimentary rock.
What is Sandstone, Limestone, Shale, etc.?
Sedimentary rock turns into Metamorphic rock through this process.
What is Heat & Pressure?
A naturally occurring solid mixture composed of minerals, smaller rock fragments, organic matter, or glass.
What is Rock?
This is how Igneous rocks are formed.
What is Cooling Magma?
This can cause a rock to change or metamorphose.
What is High Heat or High Pressure?
This is what rock and mineral fragments that are loose or suspended in water are called.
What is Sediment?
Igneous rock turns into sediment through this process.
What is Weathering and Erosion?
Geologists describe the texture of Igneous rocks with large crystals this.
What is Coarse-Grained?
This is what molten rock is called when it is inside Earth.
What is Magma?
This is what results when uneven pressures cause flat minerals to line up, giving the rock a layered appearance.
What is Foliation?
This is the process through which sediment turns into rock.
What is Lithification?
Sedimentary rock turns into magma through this process.
What is Melting?
Geologists describe the texture of Igneous rocks with small crystals this.
What is Fine-Grained?
When lava cools and crystallizes on Earth's surface, the Igneous rock that is formed is called this.
What is Extrusive Rock?
This helps bring the Metamorphic rock to the surface of the Earth.
What is Erosion/Uplift?
The process of laying down sediment in a new location is called this.
What is Deposition?
Metamorphic rock turns into Igneous rock through this process.
What is Melting & Solidification?
This rock type is characterized by having foliation.
What is Metamorphic Rocks?
When magma cools and crystallizes inside Earth, the Igneous rock formed is called this.
What is Intrusive Rock?
This type of Metamorphic rock is not foliated.
What is Marble?
This is how sediment is formed.
What is Weathering?
Metamorphic rock turns into Sedimentary rock through this process.
What is Weathering and Erosion then Compaction and Cementation?
Igneous rocks that are rich in Feldspar and Silicon(Light Elements).
What is Felsic Rock?
