Igneous Rocks
What are the two types of Igneous Rocks?
Intrusive
Exstrusive
How do you turn sediments into a sedimentary rock
Compaction and compression
Where is a metamorphic rock formed
Magma
Vocab
The resistance of minerals to being scratched: Its measured on the Mohs scale
Hardness
What is the first step in the rock cycle
Wearthing/Erosion
What can Igneous rocks form from
Magma or Lava
How do you get a Sedimentary rock to sediments
Wearthing and erosion
How do you get from a sedimentary rock to a Metamorphic rock
Heat and Pressure
Vocab
The way a mineral breaks along a flat surface, producing smooth and even pieces
Cleavage
What is the third step in the rock cycle
Deposion
What happens when an Igneous rock is rapidly cooled
Exstrusive rock is formed
What is the cycle of a sedimentary rock
The rock cycle
How do you get from an Igneous rock to a Metamorphic rock
Heat and pressure
Vocab
The color of a mineral in powdered form is often determined by rubbing the mineral against a hard, white surface
Streak
What is the 4th step in the rock cycle
Compaction
What happens when a rock is slowly cooled
An Intrusive rock is formed
What are the different textures of Sedimentary rocks
Clastic, Organic, Chemical
How is a metamorphic rock formed
heat and pressure
Vocab
How a mineral surface reflects light can be described as metallic, glassy, pearly, dull, etc.
Luster
What is the fifth step in the rock cycle
Cematation
