Identify the type of rock that forms from molten material
Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
Extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are determined by
the thickness of the molten material
the air temperature
the rate at which the molten material cools/hardens
Intrusive igneous rocks form
Earthquakes
Batholiths and laccoliths
Fossils
Identify this type of igneous rock.
Intrusive
Extrusive
Metamorphic rocks are formed from (select all that apply)
compaction and cementation
increased pressure
increased temperature
the addition or loss of fluids
the cooling of molten material
Select all characteristics of contact metamorphism
occurs when minerals and sediment are squeezed together
occurs when magma forces its way through the crust
does not involve an increase of pressure
does not involve an increase in temperature
Regional metamorphism is the result of
molten material cooling very fast
tectonic plate movement
decreased temperature
Sedimentary rocks are formed by
the cooling of molten material
increased temperature and pressure
the addition of loss of fluids
the compaction and cementation of sediments
