A mechanical weathering that involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller ones at the surface of the crust, piled on top of one another and "lithified"

When dissolved materials precipitate. precipitation is separation of solid substance from a liquid.

formed by accumulated sedimentary debris caused by organic processes.

A rock made up of pebbles, pieces of gravels cemented together.

Made of grains mainly composed of minerals quartz.

Made from layers of mad and chemical mixed with fine sand, organic matter, iron oxide and other impurities.

Made up of calcium carbonate. Came from dead organism.

"meta" means what?

"morph" means what?

Derived from limestone its parent rock. a hard crystalline rock and the most beautiful rock because of its shimmering luster.

Derived from sandstone, its hard and durable and is not always white.

During metamorphism rocks exposed to an increase in temperature because of _______?

During metamorphism the amount of force acted on the body over a unit of time.

During metamorphism the stress or pressure forced on a layer of soil or rock by the heaviness of the overlying substance.

During metamorphism the dominance of a particular direction with respect to pressure.

ROCKS THAT FORM FROM TRANSPORTED SOLID MATERIAL.

DOMINATED BY QUARTZ AND CLAY MINERAL

ROCKS DERIVED FROM THE PRECIPITATIONOF SOLUTIONS RICH IN MINERAL COMPONENTS

rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of organic debris, such as leaves, roots, and other plant or animal material.

THE PROCESS OF BREAKING DOWN ROCKS PHYSICALLY AND CHEMICALLY.

IT IS THE PROCESS OF EATING AWAY ROCKS FROM THEIR SOURCES.

IT IS THE MOVEMENT OF THE SEDIMENTS FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.

IT IS THE SETTLING OF THE SEDIMENTS IN AN AREA BEFORE THEY FINALLY LITHIFIED TO FORM SEDIMENTARY ROCKS.

IS THE GROUP OF PROCESS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF SEDIMENTS INTO SEDIMENTARY ROCKS.

It is a metamorphic rock that composed of recrystallized calcite.
