metamorphic
in Earth Science, this word means, "to change form"
What is metamorphism?
the following type of rock is created through the compaction of mineral and organic particles over time. This process often occurs in layers, with sediments being deposited by water, wind, or ice.
What are sedimentary rocks?
the following type of rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, known as magma.
What are igneous rocks?
This type of rock contain fossils
metamorphic changes occur when the following is elevated
What is temperature and pressure?
name all 5 ways sedimentary rocks form
Weather
Erosion
Deposition
Compaction
Cementation
This type of igneous rock is created when the cooling happens quickly on the surface and smaller crystals form
What are extrusive rocks?
This is the most abundant chemical rock.
What is limestone?
this type of metamorphism occurs when magma moves into rock
TWO ANSWERS :
This type of texture is caused by slow cooling, resulting in larger crystals.
This type of texture is caused by rapid cooling, resulting in smaller, interconnected mineral grains.
What are coarse and fine-grained textures?
This type of igneous rock is created when cooling occurs slowly beneath the surface and large crystals form
What are intrusive rocks?
This type of rock makes up the ocean floor.
What is basalt?
the 2 main categories of metamorphic rock that determine banding
What are foliated and non-foliated rocks?
this occurs when occurs when an agent of erosion –water, wind, ice, or gravity – loses energy anddrops sediments
What is deposition?
This type of rock is very dark in color and has a shiny, glassy appearance. It does not leave a residue (get your fingers dirty)
What is obsidian?
This texture means the rock is porous. Miss Leshyk related this to having big pores and needing Neutrogena.
What is porphyritic?
This type of metamorphic rock is formed from limestone and was historically used to create sculptures. You can see these works of art at The Art Institute of Chicago.
What is marble?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of weathered bits of rocks and minerals. Name 3 types.
this type of igneous rock is SUPER DARK in color and made mostly from iron and magnesium-rich minerals.
What are ultramafic rocks?

2. poverty wages
3. health hazards
