Sedimentary
Chemical Rock
What is sedimentary rock that forms when minerals crystalize directly from water?
Intrusive Rock
What is rock that formed underground as magma cooled slowly, giving it defined crystals?
Contact Metamorphism
What is the formation of Metamorphic Rock cased by magma coming in contact with existing rock?
Weathering
What is mechanical or chemical processes that change objects on Earth's surface over time?
Crystallization
What is the process by which atoms form a solid with an orderly repeating patter?
Biochemical Rock
What is sedimentary rock that formed by organisms or contain the remains of organisms.
Extrusive Rock
What is rock that formed above ground as lava cooled quickly, giving it less defined crystals?
Regional Metamorphism
What is the formation of metamorphic rock bodies that are hundreds of kilometers in size?
Erosion
What is removal of weathered material from one location to another? Agents include water, wind, glaciers, and gravity.
Metamorphism
What is a process that affects the structure or composition of a rock in a solid state as a result of changes in temperature, pressure, or the addition of fluids?
Sedimentary rock
Igneous rock
What is cooled and crystallized magma or lava?
Metamorphic rock
What is rock that has been metamorphed or changed into different rock?
Deposition
What is laying down or settling of eroded material?
Cementation
What is a process in which minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains?
Sedimentary rock formation
What is form when sediment is deposited and compacted in layers?
Igneous rock formation
What is when magma cools underground or lava cools above ground?
Metamorphic rock formation
What is when changes in temperature or pressure metamorph a rock?
Magma
What is molten or liquid rock that is underground?
Igneous Rock
Volcanic Glass
What is magma or lava that cooled too quickly to from crystals?
Two types of Sedimentary rock
What is Conglomerate/Breccia?
Two types of Igneous rock
What is Granite/Diorite?
Two types of Metamorphic rock
What is Slate/Marble?
Uplift
What is the process that moves large bodies of Earth materials to higher elevation?
The Rock Cycle
What is Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Sedimentary Rock, Metamorphic Rock, Magma, Igneous Rock, and Uplift?
