Test review

QuestionAnswer
Define Rock. Mixture of one or more minerals, rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials; can be Igneous, Metamorphic, or Sedimentary.
Define Sediment. Loose materials, such as rock fragments, mineral grains, and the remains of once living plants and animals, that have been moved by wind, water, ice or gravity.
Define Vesicular. get back to later!
Define Granular. get back to later!
Define Foliation. (foliated) describes metamorphic rock such as slate and gneiss, whose mineral grains line up in parallel layers.
Define Metamorphism. (metamorphic rock) forms when heat, pressure, or fluids act on igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rock to change its form or composition, or both.
Draw and label the rock cycle. Magma->cools and crystallizes <-Igneous Igneous-> Weathering and Erosion<-Sediments Sediments-> Compact and Cement-> Sedimentary Sedimentary-> Heat, Pressure and Chemical Reactions-> Metamorphic Metamorphic-> melt<-Magma Sedimentary-> melt<-Magma S
What processes make a sedimentary Rock? Cools + Crystallizes, Weathering + Erosion, and Compacting + Cementing.
How are Sedimentary Rocks classified? They are classified by their composition and by the manner in which they formed.
What are the classifications of Sedimentary rocks? Chemical, Detrital, or Organic.
What processes make an Igneous rock? Cooling and Crystallizing.
What are the classifications of Igneous rock? Intrusive or Extrusive.
How are Igneous rocks classified? Basaltic, Granitic, and Andesitic.
What processes make a Metamorphic rock? Heat, Pressure, and Chemical Reactions.
How are Metamorphic rocks classified? It is classified by its composition and texture.
What are the classifications of metamorphic rock? Foliated or non-foliated.
Identify the processes forming Igneous rocks. It goes from magma to Igneous while cooling and crystallizing.
Explain the differences between Lava and Magma. Lava is molten rock that flows from Volcanoes onto Earths surface and Magma is hot melted rock beneath Earths surface.
Explain the differences between intrusive and extrusive processes.
Identify the characteristics of the three types of volcanoes.
