Amount of Silica
These rocks form from rock fragments
Clastic rocks
This metamorphism happens when magma heats rocks but does not melt it
Contact MEtamorphism
Magma cooling and becoming rock
Solidification
Reactivity to acids is one of these properties of minerals
Chemical properties
Rocks that form inside the crust
Plutonic (Intrusive) Rocks
These Rocks form from decaying organic matter trapped under sediment
Organic Rocks
This Metamorphism happens in a large area due to increased pressure
Regional Metamorphism
These Rocks can become Sediment
Any type of rock
The six characteristics a substance needs to have in order to be considered a mineral
Solid, homogeneous, abiotic origin crystals, natural, specific chemical composition
These rocks have low silica, are dense, and have dark colors
Basic Rocks
These rocks form from accumulated hard remains of living things
Bioclastic Rocks
Name at least two metamorphic rocks
Open answer
Accumulation and diagenesis forms this type of rock
Sedimentary rock
