Igneous Rock
Magma or lava form into igneous rocks by undergoing this process
What is Solidification (cooling & hardening)?
These two things have to happen to begin the process of forming sedimentary rocks
What is Weathering and Erosion?
These two forces are needed to make metamorphic rocks
What is Heat and Pressure?
The 3 types of rocks that make up the rock cycle
What is Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic?
Igneous rocks are classified into these two categories
What is Intrusive & Extrusive?
This type of igneous rock is formed from slowly cooled magma
What is Intrusive?
What are the steps of the sedimentary rock formation?
What is Weathering & Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, & Cementation?
Metamorphic rocks form from ________ ________ as a result of extreme heat and/or pressure
What is Other Rocks?
Any type of rock can break down to form this because of weathering and erosion
What is Sediments?
These small pieces or particles make up sedimentary rock.
What is Sediment?
This type of igneous rock is formed from quick cooled lava
What is Extrusive?
This sedimentary rock is formed by rock fragments that are squeezed & glued together
What is Clastic?
These are the names of the 2 different types of metamorphic rocks
What is Foliated and Nonfoliated?
All 3 types of rock undergo this process to become magma
What is Melting?
Sediments undergo these two processes to become sedimentary rocks
What is Compaction & Cementation?
When magma cools slowly it forms this type of crystal
What is large crystals?
This sedimentary rock is where remains of plants and animals are deposited in layers
What is Organic rock?
The grains in this rock arrange randomly
What is Nonfoliated?
Magma cools and crystallizes in the cycle forming _________ rock
What is Igneous?
This type of rock forms from small particles of weathered and eroded rocks
What is Sedimentary Rock?
When lava cools fast it forms this type of crystal
What is small to none crystals?
This sedimentary rock is when mineral deposits in water solution crystallize
What is Crystalline/Chemical rock?
The grains in this rock are arranged in either parallel layers or bands
What is Foliated?
Any rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock by applying extreme ________ and/or _______
What is Heat and/or Pressure?
This type of rock undergoes both physical and chemical changes due to great amounts of heat and/or pressure
What is Metamorphic Rock?
