These are the two words we use to describe igneous rocks that form above ground.
What are extrusive and volcanic?
These 2 things form metamorphic rocks
What is heat and pressure?
This is what happens to the density and color as a rock becomes more mafic (must address both).
What is the density gets higher and the color gets darker?
These are two ways that sediments are formed.
What is weathering and erosion?
This type of metamorphism does not occur from pressure and happens over a short area.
What is contact metamorphism?
These are the types of rocks that metamorphic rocks can form from.
What are sedimentary rocks?
These are the processes by which igneous rocks form.
What is melting and solidification?
These are the 3 types of sedimentary rocks.
What are clastic, bioclastic/organic, and chemical?
This type of metamorphism occurs over fault lines.
This is the type of igneous rock that vesicular texture occurs in.
What is metaconglomerate?
These are the two ways that sedimentary rocks form.
What is compaction, and cementation?
This is the only metamorphic rock to have banding.
What is Gneiss?
This determines the size of crystals that form in igneous rocks.
What is the cooling rate of the magma or lava?
This is the difference between high grade metamorphism and low grade metamorphism.
What is that high grade metamorphism has a higher temperature and pressure than low grade?
What is the only metamorphic rock that forms from contact metamorphism alone?
Hornfels
Name the reason why limestone and marble react with hydrochloric acid.
what is they are made of the minerals calcite and dolomite.
