Igneous Rocks
Igneous rocks can be found around or in these.
What are volcanoes and magma chambers?
What process is needed to change metamorphic rock to metamorphic rock?
What is heat and pressure?
Over millions of years, the three types of rocks continually change from one kind to another. What is this process called?
What is the rock cycle?
The decomposition of rock caused by chemical reactions. (example-oxidation)
What is chemical weathering?
This causes sedimentary rock to form
What is compaction and cementation?
The process that changes metamorphic rock to magma?
What is melting?
How can metamorphic rock become sedimentary?
What are weathering and erosion?
The physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces.
Found inside a volcano is most likely made from this type of molten rock.
What is magma?
Visible layers can be seen in some sedimentary rocks. These layers are also called what?
What is strata?
The heat source that changes any rock to metamorphic rock.
What is molten magma/Earth's core?
How can sedimentary rock become metamorphic rock?
What are heat and pressure?
This occurs when wind and water leave sediments behind.
What is deposition?
This can be found within sedimentary rock
What are fossils of dead plants and animals
These are rocks that can become metamorphic rocks.
What are sedimentary, igneous, and most metamorphic rocks?
How can igneous rock become sedimentary rock?
What are weathering and erosion?
The process by which natural forces transport weathered rock and soil from one place to another.
What is erosion?
Explain the processes of Igneous Rock.
What is melting and cooling & hardening
Explain the processes that form Sedimentary Rock.
Explain the process that form Metamorphic Rock.
What are heat and pressure?
