Igneous Rocks
Igneous rocks can be found around or in these.
Volcano
This is what sedimentary rocks start off as.
Sediment
These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.
Sedimentary, igneous, and most metamorphic
The three categories all rocks can be put into.
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
This word means "born from fire."
Igneous
Liquid rocks or minerals may be called _______
Molten rock
The movement of sediment.
Erosion
These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
Heat and pressure
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.
Igneous rock
"Made from sediment" is the definition of what word?
Sedimentary
Rock that is found inside a volcano is most likely make from this type of molten rock.
Magma
The process of sediments squashing and sticking together is also known is this.
Compaction and cementation
Sandstone (sedimentary) must go through his to become Quartzite (metamorphic)
Increased heat and pressure
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.
Igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic (any type)
Metamorphic rocks get their name also from the latin word morph, meaning this.
"form" or "to change"
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types based on where they form.
Intrusive and Extrusive
Identify two types of sedimentary rocks.
Limestone, sandstone, chalk, shale, conglomerate, breccia, coal...
Type of metamorphism based on location, such as close to a mountain range
Regional metamorphism
A tree root growing over time through a rock is an example of this type of physical weathering
Biological
Sedimentary rocks get there name from this, the substance they are made of.
Sediment
This type of igneous rock is made when lava cools with lots of air bubbles throughout
Pumice
This type of rock is formed from dead trees and plants (also known as fossils) ?
Coal
These are two categories that metamorphic rocks can be put into based on appearance of layers
Foliated and nonfoliated
This is how rocks on the surface get pushed down into the Earth's core. P....
Pressure
Glass-like rock formed from quickly cooling lava
Obsidian
