Igneous rocks are made from
What is magma
What is erosion
Erosion is the moving of weathered sediments
Sediment or metamorphic rock
Explain weathering
The breaking down of sediments through physical or chemical means
Igneous rock turns into this when it experiences heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rock
What do the layers of metamorphic rock look like?
Ribbons
How is chemical weathering different from physical weathering
Chemical weathering changes the chemical make up of the rock, physical weathering just changes how the rock looks
Igneous rocks have these characteristics
Glassy surface and tiny holes
What is compaction?
Sediments squeezing together
In your own words, explain lithification
(Answers will vary)
Give an example of physical weathering and an example of chemical weathering.
(answers will vary)
Explain crystallization
Crystallization is the process that creates crystals in igneous rocks. When magma cools quickly it makes tiny crystals. When magma cools slowly, it makes larger crystals.
What is cementation?
Explain the relationship between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks
Sedimentary rocks undergo great heat and pressure to become metamorphic rock
Explain the relationship between weathering, erosion, deposition, and the rock cycle
