How does a metamorphic rock form?
when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
a random rock on the surface of the earth.
formed from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth's surface.
How does a igneous rock form?
when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
A volcano.
formed from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth's surface.
when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
How does a sedimentary rock form?
when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
formed from deposits of pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organism that accumulate on the Earth's surface.
form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
This isn't a type of rock.
All rocks end up going through every formation,
(igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic)
True
False
If a rock forms under pressure beneath the earth's surface, what type of rock is this?
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
This isn't possible
Igneous
Rocks NEVER go through cycles.
false
true
The process when rocks break into smaller pieces due to exposure to natural elements is called
soil conservation
Weathering
erosion
runoff
The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue sediment together.
sedimentary rock
cementation
compaction
sediment
What is it called when sediments are pressed together tightly
metamorphic rock
compaction
organic rock
igneous rock
The movement of weathered material (sediment) is called?
sedimentary rock
erosion
weathering
moving rock
Hot lava UNDER the surface of the earth
Lava can't go under the surface of the earth.
Magma
Lava
Igneous rock
A mountain over a hot spot that spills lava out of it
Wind break
Volcano
Mountain
Hill
How does an intrusive igneous rock form
magma cooling
heat and pressure
weathering
erosion
Rocks that form and cool slower have more or less crystals?
MORE
LESS
How does extrusive igneous rocks form?
INSIDE a volcano
Lava cooling
Magma cooling
This isn't a type of rock.
What is weathering
Formation of rocks
the same thing as erosion
process of sediment running down to a stream
process of rocks breaking down
What is deposition?
A type of volcano
breaking down of rock
the dropping of sediment from wind or water
A type of rock
How are Clastic sedimentary rocks formed?
transported and cemented
erosion
Erosion, weathered, transported, and cemented.
weathered, transported, and cemented particles
How are Chemical sedimentary rocks formed?
Sediment is transported then cemented.
dissolved minerals after evaporation
In a cave
Inside the earth
Where can metamorphic rocks MOST LIKELY be found?
no where because they are under the earth's surface.
On grassy lands
Volcanoes
Streams, ponds, or lakes
