METAMORPHIC
HOW ARE METAMOPHIC ROCKS FORMED
when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
HOW ARE IGNEOUS ROCKS FORMED
Igneous rock form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies
HOW ARE SEDIMENTARY ROCKS FORMED
from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth's surface.
WHAT POWERS EARTHS ROCK CYCLE
Earth's internal heat engine
WHAT ARE NON-FOLIATED METAMORPHIC ROCKS
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a platy or sheet-like structure
HOW MANY IGNEOUS ROCKS ARE THERE
More than 700 different types of igneous rocks are known.
HOW ARE SEDIMENTARY ROCKS FORMED THOURGH PHYSICAL PROCSSES
If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
WHAT PROCESS CAUSES IGNEOUS ROCK TO TRANSFORM INTO METAMORPHIC
This process consists of pressure and heat that are applied to the rock to change its form.
WHAT ROCK GROUPS CAN FORM METAMORPHIC ROCK
The rock groups that can form from metamorphic rocks are sedimentary and igneous.
WHAT DOSE IGNEOUS MEAN?
form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies
WHY DOSE WATER EVAPORATE FOR SEDIMENTY ROCK TO FORM
because the evaporation process removes the water from the mineral solution, allowing the minerals to form rock.
WHEN DO ROCKS CHANGE FORM IN THE ROCK CYCLE
if it is exposed to extreme heat and pressure within the crust
WHICE OF THE FOLLOWING IS A METAMORPHIC SHAL SCHIST OR LIMESTONE
schist is a metamorphic rock
WHICE OF THE FOLLOWING IS A IGENOS ROCK SANDSTONE INTRUSIVE OR SHALE
INTRUSIVE IS A IGENOS ROCK
WHICE OF THE FOLLOWING IS A SEDMENDTARY ROCK SANDSTONE SCHIST OR SHAL
THE SEDMENDTARY IS ASAND STONE
TRUE OR FALSE DO METAMOPHIC ROCKS FORM BY HIGH PRESSURE ?
TRUE
How does magma (or lava) composition relate to the viscosity of magma
Magmas with a higher SiO2 content have a higher viscosity.
TRUE OR FALSE DO SEDIMETTARY ROCKS FORM BY HEAT
FALSE
