🗑
The processes involved in the rock cycle include all of the following EXCEPT .   a) condensation  
🗑
A is a sedimentary rock made of clasts of minerals of rock fragments.   clasts rocks  
🗑
Sedimentary rocks form because of all of the following except ?   b) crystals solidifying from magma  
🗑
A is a broken piece of fragment of rock   clasts  
🗑
the rock cycle indicates that each type of rock can ?   all of the above  
🗑
sediments in sedimentary rocks are often ?   a) held together with natural cements  
🗑
which statements is correct regarding metamorphic rock formation?   d) the deeper into Earth's crust, the higher the pressure  
🗑
molten rock below the Earth's surface   magma  
🗑
molten rock that has erupted onto Earth's surface   lava  
🗑
are known as primary rocks   igneous rocks  
🗑
when volcanic material erupts, cools, and crystalizes on Earth's surface   extrusive  
🗑
when magma cools under ground rocks are formed   intrusive  
🗑
are formed when sediments are deposited   sedimentary rocks  
🗑
breaking up of rocks into smaller pieces   weathering  
🗑
movement or transportation of pieces of rocks   erosion  
🗑

🗑
dissolved minerals crystalize and cement rocks together   cemitation  
🗑
broken pieced or fragments are called   clasts  
🗑
kilobars=   kb  
🗑

🗑
contain parallel layers of flat and long gated minerals   foliated  
🗑
the series of processes that change one type of rock into another type of rock   rock cycle  
🗑

🗑
slow cooling form crystals   large  
🗑
fast cooling form crystals   small  
🗑
