Sedimentary Rocks
This is what a sedimentary rock is made of
Sediment
These are the two types of igneous rock
intrusive and extrusive
What do we call the two types of metamorphic rock?
Foliated and non-foliated
This type of rock is created weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation
sedimentary rock
Tiny particles of broken down rocks, debris, or organic material
sediment
DOUBLE OR NOTHING!
What are the three types of sedimentary rocks
Clastic, chemical, or organic
True or False: Extrusive igneous rocks cool very quickly because magma cooled on the surface of Earth
FALSE: Extrusive igneous rocks cool very quickly because LAVA cooled on the surface of Earth
If an igneous rock undergoes extreme heat and uneven pressure for long periods of time, it will become a
foliated metamorphic rock
This type of rock is created from magma and cooling and solidifying beneath Earth's surface
intrusive igneous rock
SWITCH POINTS WITH ANOTHER GROUP!
Define weathering
the process that breaks down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation
How does the speed of cooling affect an igneous rock's texture?
cools fast = smoother texture, little or no crystals
cools slow = rougher texture, big crystals
If an sedimentary rock undergoes extreme heat and even pressure for long periods of time, it will become a
non-foliated metamorphic rock
This type of rock is created from a previously existing rock undergoing extreme heat and pressure, but the pressure is uneven
This is the process where weathered rock particles, transported by wind, water, or ice, are dropped and settle in a new location
deposition
A clastic sedimentary rock is made of
Sediment of other rocks
If an igneous rock has small or no crystals and is smooth to the touch, what type of igneous rock is it?
extrusive igneous rock
What does a foliated metamorphic rock look like?
It has stripes or layers.
sedimentary rock
This is the process where layers of sediment are squeezed together under pressure from the weight of the layers above them, causing the sediment particles to pack closer together
compaction
Coal is an example of what type of sedimentary rock AND explain why
Organic, because coal contains sediments that are remains of dead plants and animals
If an igneous rock is multi-colored and has spots that are shiny like crystals, we can assume it is a _____________ igneous rock
intrusive
LOSE IT ALL!
Where does metamorphism occur?
Metamorphism occurs deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet, subduction zones
True or False: Any rock on Earth can change into any type of rock if it undergoes the right circumstances
True
This is the the process where an existing rock is transformed into a new type of rock by intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, without actually melting, resulting in a metamorphic rock with new minerals and textures.
