This is what sedimentary rocks start off as.
What is sediment?
These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.
What are sedimentary, igneous, and most metamorphic rocks?
Intrusive igneous rocks are made form what molten material?
What is lava?
__________ is when rock is exposed to chemical and physical processes that loosen and change the grains of a rock, eventually producing soil/sediment..
What is weathering?
These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
What are 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.
What is a igneous rock?
Extrusive rock is formed from the cooling and crystallization of what molten material?
What is lava?
___________occurs when loosened by weathering, mineral grains move downhill. It is the removal of loose sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity.
What is Erosion?
___________is the planar arrangement of textural or structural features in a metamorphic rock, formed due to the parallel alignment of minerals. This is caused by lateral pressure.
What is foliation?
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering.
What is any type of rock?
Igneous rocks can be classified into these two types.
What are intrusive which are corse grained and extrusive rocks fine grained?
What are the three types of sedimentary rocks?
What are clastic, organic, and chemical?
This the metamorphism that take place near a volcano and is caused by intense heat.
What is contact metamorism?
This is formed when clay goes under a lot of heat and pressure.
What is slate?
_________ ___________ igneous rocks form when lava cools quickly, and ___________ ___________ igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly.
What are fine grained and corse grained igneous rocks?
This type of rock is formed from dead trees and plants (also known as fossils).
What is coal?
This metamorphism takes place near convergent plate boundaries and is caused by intense lateral pressure.
What is regional metamorphosm?
This is how any type of rocks become metamorphic rock.
What is heat and/or pressure?
Foliated metamorphic rocks get there name for the latin word folia meaning what?
What is leaf?
