Which process drops or deposits sediments to a location?
What is deposition?
This kind of rock is formed when lava cools and solidifies.
What is extrusive igneous rock?
This process squeezes sediments tightly together.
What is compaction?
This is what metamorphism means.
What is to change form?
These are the building blocks of rocks.
What are minerals?
This term describes the movement of sediments from one location to another.
What is erosion?
This is molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface.
What is magma?
Compacted sediments form this kind of rock.
What is clastic sedimentary rocks?
This metamorphic rock has a banded or striped appearance.
What is foliated metamorphic rocks?
This is why coal is not classified as a mineral.
What is it is organic?
____________ occurs when rocks are broken down by water, air, or other factors to produce sediment.
What is weathering?
This is where are intrusive igneous rocks formed?
What is under the Earth's surface in a magma chamber?
Which process occurs after compaction to form sedimentary rock?
What is cementation?
A type of metamorphic rock that is not banded and is composed of interlocking crystals.
What is nonfoliated?
If a sedimentary rock melts and cools it changes into this rock.
What is igneous?
These are three agents of weathering.
What are wind, water, heat and gravity?
A rock has large crystals. It is most likely this kind of rock.
What is intrusive igneous rock?
This type of sedimentary rock forms when shells and skeletal remains settle to ocean floor.
What is bioclastic/biochemical sedimentary rock?
This type of metamorphism occurs when hot magma forces itself in existing rocks.
What is contact metamorphism?
Limestone, chalk and coquina are examples of this type of rock.
What is bioclastic/biochemical sedimentary rock?
Weathering, erosion and deposition are associated with this type of rock.
What is sedimentary rock?
The following is an example of an igneous rock
a. Marble
b. Granite
c.Shale
d. Gneiss
What is 'B" granite?
This type of sedimentary rock forms when dissolved substances precipitate from a water solution.
What is chemical/ crystalline sedimentary rock?
This type of metamorphism occurs at extreme pressures and causes deformation of the parent rock.
What is regional metamorphism?
Marble, schist and gneiss are these types of rocks.
What is metamorphic?
