|---|---|---|---|
|
Igneous Rocks
What rock is formed by solidification of molten rock or magma?
|
Metamorphic Rocks
What rock is formed by transformations through heat and pressure of a rock?
|
Sedimentary Rocks
What rock is formed by the lithification of a sediment?
|
Weathering
What is the process that breaks down rock and soil?
|
|
Igneous Intrusive and Extrusive Rocks
What are the two types of igneous rocks?
|
Regional and Contact Metamorphism
What are the two types of Metamorphism?
|
Clastic and Chemical/Biochemical Sediments
What are the two types of sediments?
|
Erosion
What is the process that moves broken down soil or rock?
|
|
Igneous Intrusive Rocks
What form of igneous rock forms within the earth and cools slowly?
|
Metamorphism due to contact with or proximity to an igneous intrusion.
What is Contact Metamorphism
|
Sediments produced by the weathering and erosion of rocks
What are Clastic Sediments
|
Gravity, Water, Ice, and Wind
What are the agents of Erosion? (there are 4)
|
|
Igneous Extrusive Rocks
What form of igneous rock forms on the surface of the earth due to volcanic eruptions?
|
Metamorphism affecting rocks over an extensive area as a result of the large-scale action of heat and pressure.
What is Regional Metamorphism
|
Sediments precipitated from solution
What are Chemical/Biochemical Sediments
|
When rock or soil is physically broken
What is Mechanical Weathering
|
|
An Extrusive Igneous has a glassy or fine-grained texture.
What type of Igneous rock has a glassy or fine-grained texture?
|
No, a sedimentary rock must become metamorphic, then melt into magma and cool
Can a sedimentary rock become an igneous rock without becoming metamorphic first?
|
What is lithification?The process that converts sediments into solid rock by compaction and cementation.
What is lithification?
|
When rock or soil is broken down as a result of chemical changes
What is Chemical Weathering
