Are you my type?
If you are chemical or biochemical you are this type of rock-even if you don't have any clast.
What is sedimentary rock?
Wind, ice, water and gravity are all agents of this
What is weathering or erosion?
Break down of rocks
What is weathering?
Melting and Solidification
What is crystallization?
Intrusive & Extrusive Igneous Rock Formation
What is melting and cooling?
Any rock can be igneous rock if it goes through these three processes!
What is melting, cooling, and crystallizing?
What is uplifted?
Material washed into the sea or blown in by the wind
What are sediments?
Sedimentary rocks get their name from the substance is made of
What is Sedimentary Rock?
Metamorphic Rock Formation
What is heat and pressure?
Hot mineral water can move through pore spaces in rock changing their chemical structure and the rock would be this type.
What is Metamorphic rock?
What is deposition?
A result of mechanical weathering then lithified by compaction and cement action
What is sedimentary organic rock?
Compaction
What is sedimentation of sediments?
Sediment Formation
What is weathering and erosion?
If you are looking at an igneous rock and the crystals are large, then you know it is this type
What is intrusive igneous rock?
When magma "cooks" the rock next to it without melting it, it creates this type of metamorphism.
What is contact metamorphism?
When chemical precipitation that begins when water travels through rocks and dissolves some of the minerals
What is Sedimentary chemical rock?
Any form of accumulation such as leaves, plants, roots or any animal material
What is debris?
Erosion reworking and transportation of rocks components
What is Sedimentary Mechanical Rock?
The pressure for regional metamorphism is usually provided by this.
What tectonic plate movement?
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering
What is any type of rock?
Acidic ground water form in caves
What is Chemical Weathering?
These rocks usually contain only one mineral, crystals combines to form larger interlocking crystals
What is Nonfoliated metamorphic rock?
Metamorphism
What is heat and pressure?
