What are atoms?
this is formed when all types of rocks melt
What is Magma/Lava?
granite is this type of rock
What is igneous?
these two processes can work alone or combine to create metamorphic rock
What are temperature and pressure?
anything that has mass and volume
What is matter?
the process by which water, wind, ice, and changes in temperature break down rocks
What is weathering?
these form by the cooling of magma
What are igneous rocks?
this is the process when minerals are dissolved in water and solidify between sediment pieces to create sedimentary rocks
What is cementation?
This type of metamorphic rocks do not have mineral grains that are aligned in planes or bands
What are non-foliated?
these are the building blocks of matter
What are atoms?
these are fragments that occur as a result of weathering breaking down rocks

temperature and this help form metamorphic rocks
What is pressure?
this type of igneous rock is formed beneath the the surface if the Earth

Who are the COWBOYS?
these are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means

this is the process by which sediment is moved from one place to the other
What is erosion?
these are the three types of rock alphabetically
What are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary?
these are a tell tale sign of organic sedimentary rocks
What are fossils?
this occurs when pressure causes the mineral grains in a rock to realign to form parallel bands
What is foliation?
a solid geometric form that results from a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules
What are crystals?
the process by which sediment comes to rest
What is deposition?
these are the three processes that turn metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rocks
What are weathering, erosion, and deposition?
sedimentary rocks are divided into organic and these two other two types
