Fun igneous Rock
How do Igneous rock turn into a metamorphic Rock?
Under intense heat and pressure.
if bits sedments are lossed by wethering and erosion and compacted together and cemented together what does it form.
It forms a sedimentry rock.
What rock is formed by heat and pressure?
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure
What is the parent rock of slate?
Shale, mudstone
What is the parent rock of Quartzite?
Quartz and sandstone.
If a metamorphic rock melts and turns into magma and crystallization what does it turn into?
Igneous Rock
Rock type, texture and structure classify what?
Sedimentary rocks.
If a metamorphic rock has a bandand apperance what does that mean?
(Foliated means the parallel arrangement of certain mineral grains that gives the rock a striped appearance.)
What is the parent rock of Phyllite?
Slate
What is the parent rock of Anthracite?
Coal
If you Look at a igneous rock what do you use to classify it?
Texture and color
What are the 4 sizes of sedimentary rocks.
Boulder
cobble, pebble
Sand size
Silt or clay size
What is a parent rock?
what it was before heat and pressure.
What is the parent rock of Schist?
Phyllite
How do we describe the texture if the crystals are obvious?
Phaneritic textures are where interlocking crystals of igneous rock are visible to the unaided eye.
If a Igneous rock forms what determines the size of the rock?
The cooling rate.
What is texture determind by?
by the visibilty of the particles of the rock.
Why is it importent to know the parent rock while indentifing a metamorphic rock?
The parent rock of metamorphic rock is also known as protolith and helps determine what type of metamorphic rock is being identified.
What is the parent rock of Gneiss?
Phyllite Granite and volcanic rock.
What is the rock cycle.
ocks are cycled through various forms in what is called the rock cycle, a set of natural processes that form, break down, change, and re-form rocks over time
If a igenous rock is extrusive or introsive how can you tell?
The rocks with the larger crystals have an intrusive origin, while the rocks with smaller crystals have an extrusive origin.
What is a Cheemical sedimentary rocks and Organic sedimentary rocks and what is the differents and similarities.
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed by the crystallization of chemical precipitates. These rocks are formed when dissolved ions in fluids precipitate out of the fluid and settle. Organic sedimentary rocks are formed from the bodies of organisms.
What are examples of metamorphic rocks?
Common metamorphic rocks include phyllite, schist, gneiss, quartzite and marble.
What is the parent rock of Marble?
What is the chemical formula for sillaca.
SiO2
