Broken down material such as animal matter, plant matter, rocks, minerals and clay that settles after erosion and weathering happen | sediment |
A natural process in which rocks change from one form to another | rock cycle |
Formed by melting, then cooling and hardening | igneous rock |
Formed by heat and pressure | metamorphic |
Formed by eroding, then layering, compacting and cementing together under water | sedimentary |
The mineral or rock particles that give rock its texture | grain |
A layered appearance caused by the parallel arrangement of grains | foliated |
The process in which sediment is laid down | deposition |
When rocks change from one type to another | transformation |
A process in which wind, water, weight or the force of gravity break down material and carry fragments away | weathering and erosion |
These processes cause sedimentary and igneous rock to become metamorphic rock | heat and pressure |
These processes cause sediments to turn into sedimentary rock | compacting and cementation |
This process heats up rock into the form of magma | melting |
This process causes magma to become igneous rock | cooling |
