The remains, impression, or any other evidence of a plant or animal buried by sediments
What is a fossil?
100
Sedimentary rocks that formed organically typically contain this mineral.
What is calcite?
100
These factors cause metamorphism.
What are heat and pressure?
100
The cooling and hardening of magma deep underground resulting in these.
What is a pluton?
100
A repeated series of events by which rock gradually and continually changes from one type to another.
What is the rock cycle?
200
A group of minerals bound together.
What is a rock?
200
The formation of this type of sedimentary rock begins when water moves and relocates rock fragments.
What is clastic rock?
200
These are the types of metamorphism that can occur.
What are regional or local( contact and deformational)?
200
These rocks all contain minerals.
What are intrusive igneous rocks?
200
Magma which cools and solidifies underground.
What is an igneous intrusion?
300
The arrangement of visible layers in a rock.
What is stratification?
300
Ripple marks may be observed in this type of sedimentary rock.
What is sandstone?
300
This is the parent rock of marble.
What is limestone?
300
Low silica content, thin and fluid, and forms dark-colored rocks.
What is mafic magma?
300
Igneous rock weathers and breaks down into sediments. These sediments become compact and cemented together to become these.
What are sedimentary rocks?
400
Thick and slow moving magma.
What is felsic?
400
Small, crystal-lined spheres of silica rock that sometimes occur in limestone are called this.
What are geodes?
400
This type of metamorphism is most likely to change shale to hornfels.
What is contact metamorphism?
400
Gabbro is this kind of rock.
What is igneous?
400
Sedimentary rocks become buried beneath other sediments or are caught in the movements of Earth’s crust that expose them to high temperature and/or pressure. They acquire new characteristics and are now these.
What are metamorphic rocks?
500
The largest of all plutons.
What is a batholith?
500
This sedimentary rock is likely to have formed farthest from the shoreline.
What is silty shale?
500
Examples of non-foliated metamorphic rocks.
What are quartzite and marble?
500
Orthoclase feldspar and quartz are minerals mainly formed from this magma.
What is felsic?
500
Some rocks are forced deep into Earth. They become so hot that they melt into magma. When it cools and hardens, it is now this.
