definitions
what is weathering?
weathering-The mechanical and chemical process that change Earth's surface over time.
what are examples of Sedimentary rocks?
clastic, chemical, biochemical
a type of rock formed when molten rock, called magma when underground and lava when on the surface, cools and solidifies?
igneous rock
What comes after sediment ?
Deposition , Compaction, cementation
How do igneous rocks formed?
When the lava crystallize it becomes an igneous rock,it cools quickly after coming in in contact with the cooler air around it
what is Erosion?
The movement of the weathered material or sediment from one location to another.
what are examples of Metamorphic rocks?
foliated/non-foliated: regional/contact
Is a material that's formed where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces or dissolved in the water as rock erode?
sedimentary rock
What happens after extreme temperatures and Pressure?
Metamorphic rocks
When the lava crystallize it becomes an igneous rock,it cools quickly after coming in in contact with the cooler air around it
what is Deposition?
Laying down or settling in eroded material
what are examples of Igneous rock?
Intrusive/Extrusive
a rock that has been transformed from its original form by intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, causing changes in its mineral composition and texture?
metamorphic
Happens before weathering and erosion?
Igneous rocks
how do Metamorphic rocks formed?
when existing rocks, like sedimentary or igneous rocks, are significantly altered by intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust.
what is Uplift ?
the process where rocks are pushed upwards from deep within the Earth's crust to the surface due to tectonic forces
what are examples of magma?
andesitic magma, basaltic magma, granitic magma
Igneous rock that forms as magma cools underground ?
intrusive rocks
What happens after melting?
magma
where are sedimentary rocks from?
from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth's surface
what is Magma and lava?
Molten or liquid rock underground pools minerals crystals for molten rock then erupts on the Earth surface which is called lava
what are examples of uplift
mountain ranges like the Himalayas and regions like the Hudson Bay.
When a volcanic material erupts and cools and crystallize on Earth's surface it forms into a type of igneous rocks called?
extrusive rocks
What comes after deposition compaction and cementation?
sedimentary rocks
where are igneous rocks from
the cooling and solidification of molten rock, called magma when it's underground and lava when it erupts onto the Earth's surface
