Sedimentary
What are some examples of each type of sedimentary rocks?
Sandstone, Limestone, and shale
Examples of each type of metamorphic rocks
gneiss, quartzite and marble.
Names some examples of igneous rocks.
Gabbro and granite
How do they form?
Sedimentary rocks are the product of 1) weathering of preexisting rocks, 2) transport of the weathering products, 3) deposition of the material
How do they form (contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism)?
Contact metamorphism occurs due to heating, with or without burial, of rocks that lie close to a magma intrusion.
Regional metamorphic rocks form from other rocks by changes in mineralogy and texture in response to changing physical conditions
How do intrusive rocks form?
Intrusive rock form when the magma cools beneath the earth
Explain the 3 types of sedimentary rocks (clastic, chemical, organic)
A sedimentary rock composed primarily of material formed directly by precipitation from solution or colloidal suspension. Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks.
Explain non-foliated metamorphic rocks
Types of non-foliated metamorphic rocks include marble, quartzite and hornfels.
How do extrusive igneous rocks form?
Extrusive rock forms when the magma cools on the earth
What is sedimentary rock made of?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms.
Explain the foliated metamorphic rocks.
Foliated rocks develop a platy or sheet-like structure that reflects the direction that pressure was applied in. Types of foliated metamorphic rocks include slate, schist, and gneiss.
How are igneous rocks classified as?
Intrusive and extrusive
