Process that explains how rocks form.
What is the rock cycle?
200
Rocks that contain parallel layers of flat and elongated minerals.
What is foliated rock?
200
They form slowly deep beneath the Earth's surface.

Form when lava cools quickly.
What is an extrusive igneous rock?
300
Chert is an example of this.
What is an example of biochemical sedimentary rock?
300
Forms from weathering and erosion.
What is sediment?
300
Forms from heat and pressure.
What is metamorphic rock?
400
Occurs when magma comes in contact with the surrounding rock
What is contact metamorphism?
400
Forms from molten material: either lava or magma.
What is an igneous rock?
400
Forces fluids out of sediment.
What is compaction?
400
Molten material that cools on Earth's surface.
What is lava?
400
Forms from melting, cooling and crystallization.
What is igneous rock?
500

What is regional metamorphism?
500
Igneous rocks form when this cools and crystalizes.
What is magma or lava?
500
Sedimentary rock with a grainy texture.
What is a clastic sedimentary rock?
500
Three types of rock.
What is igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary?
500
Process that is associated with the formation of all rock types.
