QuestionAnswer
metamorphic rocks are formed inside the Earth's.... crust
what two things turn rock into metamorphic rock? Intense heat and pressure
what are examples of metamorphic rocks (3) 1. slate 2. marble 3. gneiss
be able to draw what a metamorphic rock looks like yes
define rocks a natural and non-living solid formation of one or more minerals
define metamorphic rocks rocks that are formed deep inside the Earth's crust from intense heat and pressure
type of rock that is formed when magma or lava cools down igneous rocks
rocks that are formed after weathering and over time cement together to form into one rock sedimentary rocks
the continuous process in which rocks are changed from one type of rock to another type of rock the rock cycle
describe the rock cycle that changes metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock weathering turns the metamorphic rock into sediments, then cementation turns the sediment into sedimentary rock
describe how a metamorphic rock turns into an igneous rock the metamorphic rock melts in the presence of lava/magma then cools to form igneous rock
Igneous rocks are are formed when melted rocks do what? cool and then harden into solid rock
melted rocks below the Earth's surface are called magma
give 3 examples of igneous rock 1) granite 2) diorite 3)magma
why does magma cool slower than lava because lava is not as hot as magma
melted rocks that are under the earth's surface magma
type of rock that is formed when magma or lava cools down igneous rocks
the continuous process in which rocks are changed from one type of rock to another type of rock the rock cycle
3 examples of igneous rocks are granite/ diorite/ magma
why does magma cool slower than lava? because it is hotter than lava to begin with. Its under the earth's surface. Once it reaches the surface, it's called lava- which cools more rapidly because it's exposed to the atmosphere
igneous rocks are formed when melted rocks do what cool and then harden
melted rocks beneath the earth's surface are called magma
the moving of weathered rocks by wind or water deposition
the process of moving weathered rock erosion
small pieces of broken apart rocks sediments
when rocks break apart slowly due to the effects of the weather
rocks that are formed after weathering creates sediments and the sediments cement and form into one rock sedimentary rock
traces of dead plants or animals fossils
