Which type of rock is changed due to great HEAT and PRESSURE?
Metamorphic
Igneous
Sedimentary
Which type of rock is made of cooling MAGMA or LAVA?
Metamorphic
Igneous
Sedimentary
How can a Metamorphic rock become an Igneous rock?
Weathering and Erosion
Compaction and Cementation
Heat and Pressurew
Melting and cooling
How does a Metamorphic rock become a Sedimentary rock?
Heat & pressure
Melting, cooling and solidification
Weathering, erosion, compaction and lithification
Cooling of magma over time
Define Igneous rock
Rocks form when particles of other rocks are deposited in layers and are compacted and cemented together.
Formed when lava or magma cools and solidifies. Lava cools quickly, magma cools slowly.
Formed deep underground where heat and pressure cause existing rocks to be changed.
Occurs when rock particles are pressed together or packed down by gravity and overlying rocks
The Law of Superposition states that
Igneous rock is the most superior because without it no other rocks could exist
Sedimentary rock is the most superior because it is made of sediment from all other rock types
Layers of sediment settle to the bottom of lakes and oceans in such a way that the oldest rock is at the top and the youngest is at the bottom
Sediment creates horizontal layers in which the oldest rock is at the bottom and the youngest rock is at the top
Which law states that younger rocks lie above older rocks if the layers have not been disturbed
Law of crosscutting
Law of superposition
Relative dating
Law of inclusion
