Metamorphic
Many metamorphic rocks people use were once this type of rock before they underwent metamorphism
Magma that flows out onto Earth's surface.
lava
This kind of sedimentary rock is made from broken rock material squeezed and stuck together
Clastic
True or False~Lightning can strike a beach and form a new kind of rock.
True
Sometimes during recrytallization, this can happen as atoms combine in different ways.
Formation of new minerals
melting of Earth's crust or by melting within the mantle.
Magma formation
Calm environments like a lake usually have __________ sediment.
Fine or small
Solid material made of one or more minerals
Rocks
Recrystallization can cause this to happen in minerals.
growth
fine-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools quickly and solidifies on earth’s surface
Extrusive rock
Rocks made from once living materials
Organic or "bioclastic"
What type of rock is pumice?
Igneous rock
Heat and pressure can break the bonds between atoms. Then the atoms will join back together differently as new bonds form. This is process is called:
recrystallization
intrusive or extrusive rock formed from the cooling and crystallization of magma or lava period
igneous rock
Sed. rocks made when water evaporates or solids drop out of a solution
CHemical
These types of igneous rocks have very small crystals because they cool very quickly.
Extrusive igneous
What does the name metamorphic mean
"Change of shape"
coarse-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools slowly and solidifies inside Earth's crust
Intrusive rock
Broken pieces of rock are called
Clasts
Where is the oldest deposit in a sedimentary rock?
The bottom
