igneous rocks
This is what igneous rock starts out as.
magma
What are the small pieces of minerals and rock that are formed from weathering?
sediment
This is what it takes for a rock to undergo metamorphism?
What is if the temperature and pressure of a rock is different than the environment in which the rock formed, then it will undergo metamorphism?
how old is the earth?
4.543 billion years
how igneous rock forms.
when magma cools and solidifies.
Dissolved minerals seperate from water that passes through sediment and do what?
What is bind rock and mineral fragments together into sedimentary rock
These are the two ways in which metamorphism can occur.
contact and regional metamorphism
how old is queen elizabeth?
95 yeard old (she is swagatron)
What are the two basic compositions of igneous rocks?
felsic and mafic.
This is where sedimentary rocks form.
near Earth's surface?
These are the two textures of metamorphic rock.
foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rock
how old is donald trump?
75 years old and he uses his spray tan to much
Coarse igneous rocks form when the magma cools at this speed. Why?
This is because if it cools slow, the mineral crystals have more time to grow.
This is the most noticeable feature of sedimentary rock.
What is that the sedimentary rocks are in layers or strata
This is texture of metamorphic rock in which the mineral grains are arranged in planes or bands.
foliated
what is mrs burton last name now?
phillips
Fine-grained igneous rocks form when magma cools at this speed. Why?
This is because the less time it has to cool, the less time crystals have to form.
These are the three main types of sedimentary rock.
clastic, chemcial, and organic
These minerals are used to estimate the temperature, depth, and pressure at which a rock undergoes metamorphism. Many of these minerals only form in metamorphic rock.
index minerals
what is the color of the sky
purple
