Rock Types
Formed from other existing rock
What is Sedimentary Rock?
3 Categories of Rock
What is Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic rock?
What is something that can cause weathering
Rain, wind, hail, etc.
Shiny objects that appear in a rock when cooling magma
Crystals
Process by which magma/lava melts and cools
What is igneous rock formation?
Produced through lava that exits and cools on earth's surface?
What is Igneous Rock?
Heating Metamorphic Rock turns into what next.
Igneous Rock OR Magma
These types of rocks can become sediment by weathering
What is any type of rock?
Sediments that are fused together by a liquid and wind
What is cementation?
Shells and skeletal remains of organisms inside a rock
Fossil
Formed on or near the earth's surface from the compression of ocean sediments
What is sedimentary rocks?
Fossils are found in which type of rock?
Sedimentary
When sediments finally settle somewhere
Deposition
Pumice is what type of Rock?
Igenous
What igneous rock has more crystals (intrusive or extrusive)
Intrusive
What type of rock is Limestone?
What is sedimentary rock?
What is the Rock Cycle endpoint
What is never?
Natural forces that occur through wind, ice and water and move sediment from one location to the other
What is erosion?
The two types of weathering
physical and chemical
Rocks are subject to high heat and pressure
What is metamorphic rocks?
How can a sedimentary rock turn into an igneous rock?
By melting into magma and forming thru a volcanic eruption
Plant roots splitting rock is an example of what type of weathering?
Physical
Breaking down or dissolving of rocks in minerals on Earth's surface
What is weathering?
Metamorphic Rock forms under these conditions
Heat and Pressure
This type of rock has layers. The oldest layers are on the bottom rather than the top
Sedimentary
