Liquid rocks or minerals inside a volcano.
What is magma?
The movement of sediment.
What is erosion?
These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
What are heat and pressure?
A rock that was sediment, then went under pressure, then was melted down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.
What is a igneous rock?
These are the processes that form sedimentary rocks,
What are compaction and cementation?
This is how rocks turn into magma.
What is melting?
The process is when sedimentary rocks get squeezed together.
What is compaction?
You see these in many metamorphic rocks.
What are ribbon like layers or bands?
These rocks will most likely react to a weak acid.
What is sedimentary rock?
This is when sediments that are weathered and eroded are laid down in a different place.
What is deposition?
This is the plate boundary where many volcanoes are.
What is convergent boundaries?
This glues rocks together over time.
What is cementation?
This is the definition of morph.
What is change?
This is where igneous rocks come from.
What is a volcano?
Name a chemical weathering process that contributes to weathering. (Hint: it falls from the sky)
What is acid rain?
This type of shiny igneous rock are made when magma comes out of the Earth.
What is Obsidian?
