sedimentary rock
Description of sedimentary rock
What is a rock formed by or formed by pre-existing rocks or pieces of organisms?
description of igneous rock
What is one of the three main rock types?
description of metamorphic rock
What are the rocks that have been transformed from igneous rocks due to extreme heat
Description of minerals
What is a rock that is shaped from a crystallizing volcano or chemicals?
Weathering's impact on sedimentary rock
What does breaking down pre-existing rocks into smaller particles (sediment) through physical and chemical processes?
igneous rock formation process
How is it formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock?
Weathering's impact on metamorphic rock
How does it crumble it up into sediment, which causes it to turn into a sedimentary rock
Formation process of minerals
What is a crystallizing occurrence when a volcano erupts and then crystallizes, or is crystallized in the volcano?
Common places for sedimentary rock
Where are deposits of wind, water, ice, deposit sediments?
Defend how you know this is a fire-formed rock.
How is it interlocked, with a crystalline texture that resembles a mosaic or jigsaw puzzle rather than cemented grains?
Common places for metamorphic rock
Where do you normally find it in places with intense heat?
cause and effect of a mineral rock to form
What happens when a melted mineral hardens and forms a crystal to form a mineral rock?
Sedimentary rocks' process of changing over time
What are existing rocks broken down by weathering and erosion into sediments, transported by water, wind, or ice, and deposited in layers?
Identification of an igenous rock
How do you examine them for an interlocking, crystalline, or glassy texture that is generally uniform throughout, lacking the layers or fossils found in sedimentary rocks?
The metamorphic rocks' process of changing over time
How will they continue to melt
Formation of asphalt
what happenes when a volcano that has erupted cools down and crystallizes outside the volcano?
Specific examples of sedimentary rocks
What are shale, sandstone, rock salt, some limestone, coal, and chalk?
specfic of example of an igneous rock
What is granite and gabbro (intrusive, coarse-grained), as well as basalt, obsidian, and pumice (extrusive, fine-grained or glassy
Specific example of a metamorphic rock
What is slate, phylitt and gniess
Specfic example of minerals
What are quartz, feldspar, hematite, pyrite, calcite, gold, and copper?
