What is two ultramafic rocks
200
It is rocks and mineral fragments produces by weathering.
what is clastic
200
regional metamorphism
High temperatures and pressure affect large regions of earths crust which produce large belts of ?

rock cycle
What is the continuous changing sand remaking of rocks is called
300
800 degrees c to 1200 degrees c
What is temperature a rock can be heated before they melt
300
large crystals
What can not form when lava cools to quickly
300
Wind, moving water, gravity and glaciers
What is four main agents of erosion
300
contact metamorphism
What is the local effect called when molten rocks come in contact with solid rocks
300
Molten material found beneath Earths crust that forms minerals with large crystals when it cools slowly and forms minerals with small crystals when it cools rapidly.

Lithification
What is the physical and chemical process that transform sediments into sedimentary rocks called
400
Hydrothermal metamorphism
What is common around igneous intrusions andd near active volcanoes
400
solid particles deposited on Earths surface that can form sedimentary rocks by processes such as weathering,erosion,deposition, and lithification.
