This process of making sedimentary rock occurs when layers build up pressure which causes air and water to be squeezed out
What is COMPACTION
100
Color, streak, luster, hardness, density, breakage and crystal structure are all tests scientists use to categorize this material
What are MINERALS
100
This type of igneous rock has a high silica content
What is RHYOLITE
100
These are the 3 types of metamorphic rock
What is
1. Schist
2. Gneiss
3. Marble
200
Shale, sandstone, siltstone and breccia are all examples of this type of rock
What is SEDIMENTARY
200
This process of the formation of sedimentary rock occur when sediments are place down in flat layers
What is DEPOSITION
200
These are the 5 characteristics all minerals process
What is
1. NATURALLY OCCURING
2. INORGANIC
3. SOLIDS
4. DEFINITE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
5. CRYSTAL STRUCTURE
200
This type of igneous rock has a low silica content
What is BASALT
200
The parent rocks of this type of metamorphic rock are schist or granite
What is GNEISS
300
This type of rock is formed by heat and pressure
What is METAMORPHIC
300
This process of the formation of sedimentary rock occurs when dissolved minerals recrystallize and hold sediments together.
What is CEMENTATION
300
Granite represents this type of igneous rock that cools slowly.
What is INTRUSIVE
300
Magnesium and Iron are examples of this type of igneous rock
What is BASALT
300
The parent of this type of metamorphic rock is coal
What is ANTHRACITE
400
These are the 4 stages of the formation of sedimentary rock
What is
1. EROSION
2. DEPOSITION
3. COMPACTION
4. CEMENTATION
400
This part of the process in the formation of sedimentary rock is when sediment moves from one place to another by moving water, wind, waves or glaciers
What is EROSION
400
This type of igneous rock cools outside of the Earth's surface
What is EXTRUSIVE
400
This is one of 5 minerals that can scratch a mineral with a hardness of 5
What is
TALC
GYPSUM
CALCITE
FLOURITE
APATITE
400
The parent rock of this type of metamorphic rock is limestone
What is MARBLE
500
These types of rocks can be later broken down to form sedimentary rocks
What is ALL TYPES
500
This type of sedimentary rock was once used to heat homes and power trains
What is COAL
500
This type of igneous rock tends to have coarse & large crystals
What is INTRUSIVE
500
This mineral has a hardness of 10
What is DIAMONDS (when you go, they stay with me until the end!)
500
The parent rock of this type of metamorphic rock is shale
