Which of these is NOT an igneous rock:
pegmatite, basalt, granite, shale
What is shale?
This is the first part of the process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock.
What is melting?
This type of igneous rock can be found below the earth' surface.
What is intrusive rocks?
You find a rock with wavy, parallel bands of white and black crystals. It is this type of rock.
What is metamorphic?
This process causes sedimentary rocks to have visible layers.
What is deposition?
Which of these is NOT a sedimentary rock:
flint, sandstone, marble, shale
What is marble?
Igneous rock can be turned into sediment by this.
What is erosion?
This type of igneous rock can be found on the earth's surface.
What is extrusive rocks?
Metamorphic rocks form from these types of existing rocks.
What are metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous?
These types of rocks are used for building materials.
What are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic?
Which of these is NOT an igneous rock:
granite, basalt, pumice, gneiss
What is gneiss?
To change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic one you must have this.
What is heat and pressure?
This is the most common extrusive igneous rock.
What is obsidian?
Metamorphic rocks are named appropriately because they have undergone some type of this.
What is change?
This type of rock contains fossils in it.
What is sedimentary?
Which of these IS an igneous rock:
schist, obsidian, anthracite, marble
What is obsidian?
These two steps change sediment into sedimentary rocks.
What are compaction and cementation?
This land form is needed for igneous rocks to form.
What is a volcano?
This is the units for pressure.
What is force divided by area?
A rock is made up of one or more of these.
What are minerals?
Which of these IS a sedimentary rock:
marble, sandstone, granite, pumice
What is sandstone?
These two things must occur to make a sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock.
What are heat and pressure?
This type of igneous rock cools more slowly allowing larger crystals to form.
What is intrusive igneous rocks?
This is the definition of pressure.
What is force exerted over a given area?
Cementation occurs when this enters the spaces between the sediment grains.
What are minerals?
