Rocks Formed from crystallization of magma?
What is igenous rocks?
100
Slushy mix of molten rock, gases, and mineral crystals.
What is magma usaully made of?
100
Canadian geologist who demonstrated that as magma cools, minerals form in predictable patterns.
Who is N.L Bowen?
100
Pieces of solid material that have been deposited on earths surface by wind.
What are sediments?
100
When a rock changes form while remaining solid.
What is metamorphism?
200
Fined grained igeous rocks that cool quickley on earths surface?
What are extrusive igneous rocks?
200
Temperature, pressure, water content, and mineral composition.
What are the main factors involved in the formation of magma?
200
Characterized by a continueous gradual change of mineral compositions in the feldspar group.
What is the first pattern Bown discovered?
200
Sedimentary rocks begins.
What happens when weathering and erosion produce sediments?
200
Rocks melt and form magma.
What happens when temperature or pressure becomes high?
300

What is granite?
300
Most abundant compound found in magma.
What is silica?
300
Rich in calcium.
What are the first feldspars to form?
300
Occurs when the minerals in a rock are dissolved or otherwise chemically changed?
What is a chemical reaction?
300
Whe very hot water reacts with rock and alters chemistry and mineralogy?
What is hydrothermal metamorphism?
400
Latin word that means "fire".
What is ignis?
400
The changes the melting point of rocks?
What is percentange the amount and percentage of water?
400
Represents the iron rich minerals.
What is the left branch of Bowens Reaction series?
400
Sediments are laid down on the ground o f sink to hte bottoms of bodies of water.
What is deposition?
400
Large crystals which can ranfe in sioxe from a few millimeters to a few centimeters?
What are porphyroblasts?
500
Provided direct evedince that granites where igneous rocks formed underground.
What are cross-cutting relationships and other geological evidence?
500
800 degrees C- 1200 degrees C.
What is the temperature most rocks can be heated to before they melt?
500
Elements left over at the end of of the reaction series.
What is silica and oxygen?
500
Where most sediments are ultimately deposited on Earth.
What are sedimentary basins?
500
Invade the surrounding rocks and change therir mineralogy, textures, and chemistry.
What are hydrothermal fluids?
