What is an igneous rock?
100
this is how a sedimentary rock becomes igneous
What is melting into magma, cooling, and hardening
100
when magma reaches Earth's surface and flows from volcanoes it is called this
What is lava?
100
Metamorphic rocks form as a result of this
What is heat and pressure?
100
These types of sedimentary rocks form when sediments are pressed together
What are detrital sedimentary rocks?
200
granite
What is igneous rock?
200
this is how an igneous rocks becomes a sedimentary rock
What is weathering and erosion turn it into sediments, the sediments undergo compaction and cementation
200
when magma is cooled and hardens underground, this type of igneous rock forms
What is intrusive?
200
these type of metamorphic rocks have mineral grains that line up in layers
What are foliated?
200
These types of sedimentary rocks form when dissolved minerals come out of a solution
What chemical sedimentary rocks?
300
limestone
What is sedimentary rock?
300
a mixture of minerals, rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, and other natural materials
What is a rock?
300
This causes a rock to have large mineral grains
What is slow cooling rate?
300
these type of metamorphic rocks do not mineral grains arranged in layers
What is sandstone?
300
These types of sedimentary rocks form from the remains of once living organisms
What are organic sedimentary rocks?
400
gneiss
What is metamorphic rock?
400
this is how an igneous rock becomes metamorphic
What is heat and pressure are added?
400

slate
What is metamorphic rock?
500
this is how a sedimentary rock becomes a sedimentary rock

What is basaltic, andesitic, and granitic?
500
When shale undergoes heat and pressure, it becomes this metamorphic rock.
What is slate?
500
