|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A naturally occuring solid mixture of 1 or more minerals & organic matter is? | ROCK
🗑
|
||||
| The continual processes in whick new rock forms old rock material is called? | ROCK CYLCE
🗑
|
||||
| The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transport soil & sediment from one location to another is called? | EROSION
🗑
|
||||
| A process in which material is laid down is called? | DEPOSITION
🗑
|
||||
| A chemical makeup of a rock; describes either the materials or other materials in a rock is called? | COMPOSITION
🗑
|
||||
| The quality of a rock that is based in the sizes, shapes, & positions of the rocks grains is called? | TEXTURE
🗑
|
||||
| A movement within the earth causes rocks inside the earth to be moved to the earths surface? | UPLIFT
🗑
|
||||
| What rock formed from the cooling & solification of magma beneath the earth's surface? | INTRUSIVE INGNEOUS ROCK
🗑
|
||||
| What kind of rock forms as a result of volcanic activity at or near the earth's surface? | EXTURSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK
🗑
|
||||
| What are the layers of rock called? | STRATA
🗑
|
||||
| The process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers is? | STRATAIFICATION
🗑
|
||||
| The texture of metamorphic rock in which the mineral grains are arranged in planes or bands is? | FOLIATED
🗑
|
||||
| A texture of metamorphic rock in which the mineral grains are NOT arranged in planes or bands is? | NONFOLIATED
🗑
|
||||
| the continual process by which new rock forms from old rock material | ROCK CYCLE
🗑
|
||||
| the four processes that SHAPED earth's surface | 1. weathering
2. erosion
3. deposition
4. uplift
🗑
|
||||
| breaks down rock into framents | weathering
🗑
|
||||
| removes sediment from its source | erosion
🗑
|
||||
| as a sediment drops & comes to rest, sedimentary rock is formed | deposition
🗑
|
||||
| the process by which rock within the earth moves to the earth's surface | uplift
🗑
|
||||
| occurs when the temperature & pressure are high enough change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock. | Metamorphic rock formation
🗑
|
||||
| occurs when the rock gets hot enough to melt. Once it melts it forms magma, when it cools, it forms igneous rock | igneous rock formation
🗑
|
||||
| the four processes that changed INSIDE the earth | 1. compaction & cementation
2. metamorphism
3. melting
4. cooling
🗑
|
||||
| the minerals that a rock contains | composition
🗑
|
||||
| describes the size, shape, and position of a rocks grains. also gives clues on how a rock was formed | texture
🗑
|
||||
| texture determines how fast OR slow magma cools. If magma cools quickly the rock is fine grained. If it cools slowly the rock is medium to course grained | Igneous Rock
🗑
|
||||
| *when rock is heated *when pressure is released *when rock changes composition | are 3 ways magma can form
🗑
|
||||
| *light colored *less dense than dark colored rocks *Aluminum (AL) Potassium (K) Sodium (NA) Silicon (SI) | Felsic Rocks
🗑
|
||||
| *dark colored rocks *rich in calcium (CA) Iron (FE) and Magnesium (MG)and is POOR in Silicon (SI) | Mafic Rock
🗑
|
||||
| rock that forms BELOW earth's surface | Intrusive Igneous Rock
🗑
|
||||
| Rock that forms ABOVE the earth's surface | Extrusive Igneous Rock
🗑
|
||||
| *plutons, *batholiths, *Stocks, *dikes, * sills | are types of intrusive igneous rock
🗑
|
||||
| rock that is formed when clasts are cemented together | CLASTIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK
🗑
|
||||
| a rock that forms when a mineral crystallizes out of solution EX: sea water --> rock | CHEMICAL SEDIMENTARY ROCK
🗑
|
||||
| a rock that forms from the remains of plants and animals that were once living | ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK
🗑
|
||||
| formed from the remains of sea animals that have cemented together | Fossiliferous Limestone
🗑
|
||||
| a type of organic sedimentary rock | coal
🗑
|
||||
| the direction of wind and sand on sand dunes is called? | Ripple MArks and Mudcracks
🗑
|
||||
| a form of clay, which is a sedimentary rock | Benodite
🗑
|
||||
| means (changed) | Meta:
🗑
|
||||
| means (shape) | Morphos
🗑
|
||||
| means (gneiss) | Shale
🗑
|
||||
| rocks in which structure, texture, or comopistion has changed | MEtamorphic Rock
🗑

||||
| this is when rock is headed by nearby magma. | Contact Metamorphism
🗑
|
||||
| *intense pressure when peices of earths crust collide | Regional Metamorphism
🗑
|
||||
