Igneous Rocks
The type of Igneous that is formed from Magma
What is Intrusive
What is Clastic
Two ingredients to make a rock change shape
What are Heat and Pressure
Definition of weathering
What is the breaking down of rock into sediments
Definition of Erosion
What is moving sediments from one location to another
Texture of igneous rock when you can SEE large crystals
What is coarse grained
Five steps to forming Clastic Sedimentary rock
What is Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction and Cementation
Metamorphic rocks that have minerals arranged in planes or bands
What is Foliated Metatmorphic
Wind blowing sand against a rock wears down its surface. This is an example of
What is abrasion (by wind)
Rocks tumbling down a mountainside bumping and grinding is an example of erosion by this force that pull things down
What is gravity
What is Lava
Minerals dissolve and crystallize from a salt water solution
What is Chemical Sedimentary
Metamorphic rocks form deep underground because the _____ and ______ are much higher than the surface
What is heat and pressure
The most powerful force of weathering is?
What is Moving Water
Most powerful force of erosion
WHat is moving water
Dark colored, high density igneous rock with small crystals
What is mafic extrusive
What is Coal or Organic Sedimentary
The final step to forming a clastic sedimentary rock is when sediments are
What is cemented together
When rocks are weathered these are produced
What are sediments
True or False, most sediments are created by erosion
What is false
Melting, Cooling, Solidifying
What are the three steps to forming Igneous Rock
Sedimentary Rocks are found here
On or near the Earths surface close to bodies of water
Sedimentary rocks are often smooth and rounded if they have been here
What is moving water
Weathering is a key component to creating this type of rock
What is Sedimentary Rock
Difference between weathering and erosion
Weathering breaks rocks down into sediments, erosion moves sediments
