- E. rock that cools below the Earths surface
- Slide 3
- B. metamorphic rock in which mineral grains are NOT arranged in
bands
- Slide 4
- C. rock that cools at the Earths surface
- Slide 5
- A. process in which layers in sedimentary rock are formed
- Slide 6
- D. layers found in sedimentary rocks
- Slide 7
- Sedimentary rock is formed through the process of
__cementation_____.
- Slide 8
- How did humans use rocks in the past? To make tools
- Slide 9
- What are the main categories of sedimentary rock? Clastic,
chemical, organic
- Slide 10
- What has to increase for metamorphism to occur? Temperature and
pressure
- Slide 11
- What kind of metamorphic rock has its mineral grains arranged
in planes or bands? Foliated
- Slide 12
- When magma cools quickly, what kind of texture does rock have?
Fine-grained
- Slide 13
- When temperature and pressure change, what can happen to the
minerals in rocks? They change into minerals that are more
stable.
- Slide 14
- During the rock cycle, what forms when magma cools? Igneous
rock
- Slide 15
- What is the process in which water, wind, and heat break down
rock? Weathering
- Slide 16
- Besides clastic and chemical, what is the other kind of
sedimentary rock? Organic
- Slide 17
- Besides texture, how else are rocks classified? By their
composition
- Slide 18
- What do scientists call the rock that is formed when magma
cools below the Earths surface? Intrusive igneous rock
- Slide 19
- The process in which rocks change shape is called
____deformation _________.
- Slide 20
- D. the quality of a rock based on size and shape of the mineral
grains
- Slide 21
- A. process in which sediment is dropped and comes to rest
- Slide 22
- E. process by which new rock is made from old rock
- Slide 23
- F. the chemical makeup of a rock
- Slide 24
- B. process by which sediment is removed from its source
- Slide 25
- C. naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals
and organic matter
- Slide 26
- Explain how minerals contribute to rock composition. A mineral
is solid, nonliving, crystal-shaped, and formed in nature, and a
rock is made up of 1 or more minerals. Rock is formed from 1 or
more minerals and can become a sedimentary rock (weathering and
erosion), igneous rock (magma), or metamorphic rock (heat and
pressure).
