NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

process of sedimentary rock formation that occurs when dissolved minerals precipitate out of groundwater and either a new mineral grows between the sediment grains or the same mineral grows between and over the grains

• cementation

• lithification

• deposition

• bedding

describes rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering and erosion and classified according to particle size and shape

• clastic

• felsic

• mafic

• classic

depositional feature of sedimentary rock that forms as inclined layers of sediment are carried forward across a horizontal surface

• cross-bedding

• graded bedding

• deposition

• sedimentation

Most common type of sedimentary rock, such as breccia, sandstone, and shale, formed by lithification of clastic sediments

• clastic sedimentary rock

• neoclastic sedimentary rock

• lithiformed sedimentary rock

• pegmatic rock

NGSS.MS-ESS2-1

local effect that occurs when molten rock meets solid rock

• contact metamorphish

• direct metamorphism

• localized metamorphism

• Diametamorphism

fine-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools quickly and solidifies of Earth's surface

• extrustive

• intrusive

• exhaustive

• expensive

process in which different minerals crystallize from magma at different temperatures, removing elements from magma

• fractional crystallization

• partial crystallization

• elimination

• process mineralization

intrusive or extrusive rock formed from the cooling and crystallization of magma; can be classified as felsic, mafic, intermediate, and ultramafic according to its mineral composition

• igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

• pet rock
