Igneous Rocks
Igneous rocks form this way.
What is 'melted' rock cools and hardens?
These two things are needed to from sedimentary rock.
What is sediment and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks are formed this way.
What is existing rock transforms by intense heat, pressure or both?
This rock forms from magma or lava.
What is an igneous rock?
conglomerate are commonly found in this type of rock.
What is sedimentary?
An extrusive rock forms this way
What is when magma exits a volcano as lava and then cools?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from this.
What is deposits of per-existing rocks
These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks
What are sedimentary, igneous, and most metamorphic rocks?
When does an igneous rock turn into a metamorphic rock
What is after heat and pressure?
Sedimentary rocks are different from igneous rocks
What is sedimentary rocks form from mud, silt, sand and small rocks, while igneous rocks from from cooled magma or lava?
A common igneous rock, round readily in Sechelt
Fossils are commonly found is this type of sedimentary rock.
Metamorphic rock can be buried deeper below the surface through this process?
What is a subduction zone?
This action in the rock cycle is what forms metamorphic rock
What is heat and pressure?
The process bringing rocks to the surface.
What is uplift?
This igneous rock is formed when lava cools down at an accellerated rate that no crystals are formed.
What is Obsidian?
This sedimentary rock is commonly found in and near water
What is limestone?
Metamorphic rocks often have layers because of this process.
What is heat and pressure line up minerals?
This type of rock can contain fossils
What is sedimentary rock?
This kind of rock is formed from lava hardening inside the volcano.
What is intrusive Igneous rock?
This type of igneous rock forms when magma cools slowly beneath Earth's surface creating large crystals
What is an intrusive rock?
This process causes layers of sediment rock to be revealed. It often results in canyons being formed
What is down cutting by water?
This metamorphic rock is made from the sedimentary rock called shale.
What is slate?
Weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition create this.
What is sediment?
This trait is commonly seen in sedimentary rocks.
What are fossils?
