Review
What process forms igneous rocks
cooling and solidification of magma (crystallization)
what happens during the process of deposition
sediment is left at a new location
what are the three major types of rocks
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
what causes regional metamorphism?
high heat and pressure over large areas (LIKE A REGION)
which of the following is not a type of sedimentary rock:
clastic
biological
intrusive
chemical
intrusive
what is the main difference in intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks
intrusive igneous rocks cool underneath the earth's surface while extrusive cool on the earth's surface
which type of rock is formed from fragments of other rocks
clastic (sedimentary)
which type of rock contains fossils
sedimentary
What process turns sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure
Which process forms magma
heat and melting
what is the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock
weathering, erosion, and deposition
what is the role of plate tectonics in the rock cycle
it moves rocks and exposes them to conditions that lead to transformation
what does the rock cycle demonstrate
earth's materials change but are not lost
intrusive igneous
3 surface processes of the rock cycle include
Which of the following is an example of a foliated metamorphic rock?
A) Marble
B) Quartzite
C) Slate
D) Limestone
Slate
how does cooling rate affect the size of crystals in igneous rocks
cooling fast makes small crystals and cooling slowly makes larger crystals
What is an example of a non-foliated metamorphic rock?
A) Slate
B) Marble
C) Schist
D) Gneiss
B) Marble
what is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces
weathering
what type of rock is shale
sedimentary
Which type of rock is formed from heat and pressure
metamorphic
what type of igneous rock cools quickly and has small or no crystals
extrusive
which rock type forms from compacted organic material
Biological sedimentary
how are foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks different
foliated rocks show banding
what does uplift do in the rock cycle
exposes rock to weathering and erosion
