more stuff Bcuz idk
100
formed from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth's surface.
Sedimentary rocks
100
coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase.
Granite
100
Found inside the earth under the crust
Magma
100
Lines connecting in a circle at the same elevation
Contour lines
100
Height above water
Elevation
200
Arising from an old rock when heated to high temperatures to make a
Metamorphic rock
200
forms at the bottom of the ocean from the precipitation of calcium carbonate and the remains of marine animals with shells.
Limestone
200
The breaking down of rocks over time
Erosion
200
Unable to be renewed or replineshed
Non renewable resources
200
a 1,600 km long chain of volcanoes that includes islands in the Gulf of Guinea and mountains on the African mainland, from Mount Cameroon on the coast towards Lake Chad on the northeast.
volcanic line
300
Found through the cooling of magma
Igneous rock
300
metamorphosed limestone. The calcite crystals in it are large and interlocking, forming a dense crystalline rock.
Marble
300
Formed by a geophysical process in which two or more of Earth's tectonic plates converge and the older, denser plate is pushed beneath the lighter plate and deep into the mantle, causing the seafloor and outermost crust
Trench
300
is caused by sudden movement along faults within the Earth
Earthquakes
400
Volcanic glass formed when lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth.
Obsidian
400
an intrusive igneous rock formed by the slow cooling underground of magma that has a moderate content of silica and a relatively low content of alkali metals.
Diorite
400
gigantic pieces of the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle.
Tectonic plates
400
forms when one tectonic plate moves under another. Usually a thin, heavy oceanic plate subducts, or moves under, a thicker continental plate.
volcanoes
500
To find the process of rock formation and learn what type of rock from the way they are made
Classification
500
a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of a substantial fraction of rounded to subangular gravel-size clasts.
Conglomerate
500
a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements.
Fault
500
The reason of sedimentary rocks being made
Weathering and erosion
