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 these two parts of the rock cycle.
What is weathering and erosion?
This term describes the break down of rocks
What is weathering?
Extrusive Igneous rock means this.
What is cooled on the surface?
This is the source for all the heat that melts rock deep in the crusts
What heat from the core of the Earth?
Any rock can be igneous rock if it goes through these three processes!
What is melting, cooling, and crystallizing?
What is uplifted?
When rock is broken down into smaller particles, this is the technical term for the sediments
What are clasts?
If a metamorphic rock is foliated, it means this.
What is appears to have parallel layers?
Magma rises to the surface because it is _______________ _________________ than the surrounding material.
What is less dense?
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?
What is lithification?
If you are describing a rocks texture, then you are describing this
What is the size and arrangement of the mineral grains in the rock?
These are the five conditions something must meet to be a mineral.
What are naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, definite chemical formula and a crystalline structure?
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?
Sometimes magma cools slowly, making big crystals, then cools rapidly, making small crystals in the rock. The term that describes this texture is ___________________________?
What is porphyritic?
A conglomerate sedimentary rock has clasts that are rounded and smooth indicating that it probably formed in this type of environment.
What is an environment of flowing water?
These are the two general types of data that you gather in an experiment.
What is qualitative data and quantitative data?
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?
Halite is a rock formed by the evaporation of water leaving the salt behind. _______________________ is the term for this type of rock.
What is Chemical chemical sedimentary rock?
Obsidian is often called lava glass and has no visible crystals. This is caused by __________________
What is very rapid cooling?
Before the sun reached 10,000,000 degrees Celsius, it was called one of these.
What is a protostar?
