Igneous rocks can be found around or in these.
What is a volcano?
What type of rocks can become metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks
What is intrusive igneous rock?
rock below earth's surface, inside volcano
Liquid rock found outside a volcano
What is lava?
What is the movement of sediment. (hint think of WED)
Erosion
What are crystals? Where are small crystals found: intrusive or extrusive, why?
A solid with molecules arranged in a repeating pattern.
Extrusive! If the magma cools quickly, the crystals do not have much time to form, so they are very small.
If the magma cools slowly, then the crystals have enough time to grow and become large.
Liquid rock that is found inside a volcano.
What is magma?
compaction of sediments then cementing of sediments! compaction=pressing together cementing=gluing
What is weathering?
the breakdown of rock into sediments
How does sedimentary rock turn into igneous rock?
melts due to heat and pressure and then cools and solidifies to form igneous rock
How does metamorphic rock turn into sediment?
What can cause rocks to change into different types of rock? Need 2 examples
Weathering and Erosion
Heat and Pressure
Compaction and Cementation
Melting
Sediment is being carried down a river what is this called?
Erosion
What type of rock/rocks can igneous rock turn into?
What is igneous rock, sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock?
How does sedimentary rock turn into metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure
how does metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock?
rock is weathered and eroded into sediments then compacted and cemented together
Ice, wind, water, rain, sleet, storms, etc!
How would rock experience weathering, erosion, and deposition? Label each step!
Erosion- sediment is moved by water, wind, etc.
Deposition- sediment is dropped in a place, end of stream, etc.
