Generalizing about Rocks
100
Created by the cooling and crystallization of molten material
What is igneous rock
100
igneous rock formed from cooling lava
What is extrusive
100
two types
What is foliated and non foliated
100
type if fragments of rock are compacted and cemented
What is clastic
100
only rock to have fossils
What is sedimentary
200
Created from applying heat and pressure
What is metamorphic
200
igneous rock created from cooling magma
What is intrusive
200
cleavage and banding
What is foliated
200
two types of non clastic sedimentary rock
What is chemical and organic
200
An igneous rock can become which type of rock(s)?
What is all of them
300
process used to create sediments
What is weathering and erosion
300
two ways igneous rocks can be classified
What is composition and location
300
limestone under heat and pressure
What is marble
300
two types of organic sedimentary rock
What is coquina and coal
300
rock that cools slowly has what type of crystals
What is large
400
first step a rock needs to go through in order to become an igneous rock
What is melting
400
fine grained texture, pores, dark colored, high density
What is extrusive mafic
400
granite under heat and pressure
What is gneiss
400
chemical processes
What is precipitation and evaporation
400
which rock will most likely contain gemstones
What is metamorphic
500
process sediments go through to become a sedimentary rock.
What is compaction and cememtation.
500
coarse grained texture, large crystals, light colored, low density
What is intrusive, felsic
500
shale under heat and pressure
What is slate
500
process of layering
What is stratification

explain how a sedimentary rock can become an igneous rock
What is melting then cooling and crystallizing
