Metamorphic Rocks
Two things that can change rock into metamorphic rock.
What are heat and pressure?
Small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks
What is sediment?
This type of igneous rock forms when magma hardens beneath Earth's surface
What is intrusive igneous rock?
Series of processes that occur on Earth's surface that change rocks from one kind to another
What is the rock cycle?
Rocks formed when sediment is deposited by water and wind
What is sedimentary rock?
How metamorphic rocks are classified
What is by the grains making up the rocks?
This type of sedimentary rock is grouped by the size of the rock fragments or particles of which they are made
What is clastic rock?
This type of igneous rock forms from lava erupted onto Earth's surface
Turns metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock
What is weathering and erosion?
Rocks formed from lava or magma
What is igneous rock?
The type of metamorphic rock that has grains arranged in parallel lines or bands
What is foliated rocks?
This type of sedimentary rock forms when minerals dissolve in water solution and crystallize
What is chemical rock?
Slow cooling magma forms what kind of crystals
What is large?
Turns igneous rock into metamorphic rock
What is heat and pressure?
Rocks classified by origin, texture, and mineral composition
What is igneous rock?
When grains in metamorphic rocks are arranged randomly
What is nonfoliated rocks?
This type of sedimentary rock forms when the remains of plants and animals are dissolved in layers
What is organic rock?
Rapidly cooling lava forms what kind of crystals
What is large?
Turns metamorphic rock into magma or lava
What is melting?
This type of rock is formed through a sequence of processes: weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation?
What is sedimentary rock?
The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together
What is cementation?
Turns igneous rock into magma or lava
What is melting?
This type of rock can form from igneous rock, sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock
