QuestionAnswer
igneous type of rock formed when lava or magma cools and solidifies
sedimentary type of rock formed by the lithification of sediment; most surface rock; only type to contain fossils
metamorphic type of rock formed when a pre-existing rock is changed by heat, pressure, or hot fluids
rock cycle model that illustrates the 3 types of rocks and how they can each change to any other type
rock consolidated mixture of minerals
intrusive type of igneous rock that cools inside the earth's crust; large grains
extrusive type of igneous rock that cools outside the earth's crust; small grains
weathering disintegration and decomposition of rock
erosion transportation of sediment by wind, water, or ice
deposition water, wind, or ice loses energy and drops sediments
compaction squeezing sediments together; caused by weight of sediment above it
cementation dissolved minerals are deposited in spaces between sediments and glues them together
clastic type of sedimentary rock made from weathered bits of rock and minerals
chemical type of sedimentary rock that forms when dissolved substances precipitate from a solution
organic type of sedimentary rock formed from the remains of once-living organisms
contact type of metamorphism that occurs when magma intrudes rock, exposing the rock to extreme temperatures
regional type of metamorphism that occurs during mountain building when tectonic plates collide; exposes rock to extreme heat and pressure
foliated type of metamorphic rock that has layers or bands
non-foliated type of metamorphic rock that does not form layers or bands
lithification process by which sediments are solidified to form solid rock
bituminous type of sedimentary coal; 3rd stage in the formation of coal
anthracite metamorphic form of coal; dark, shiny, dense, and produces the most energy when burned
marble metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock limestone
stratification sediments are laid down layer upon layer to form rock
slate metamorphic rock formed from the parent rock shale
limestone chemical sedimentary rock; forms in areas where there used to be marine organisms; gets carved out to form caves
