Chapter 14 Flashcards
During the Rock Cycle, what forms when magma cools?
Igneous
A metamorphic rock in which mineral grains are arranged in bands are called
Foliated
What kind of sedimentary rock is made of fragments of rocks cemented together by a mineral
Clastic
What are Strata?
Layers of sediment rock
Which process forms sediment
Weathering
The size shape and position of grains that make up a rock describe its
Texture
Describe a metamorphic rock in which mineral grains are not arranged in planes or bands
Non-foliated
Classic sediment rock is formed through the process of
Cementation
A process by which sediment is removed from its source is called
Erosion
What kind of grain texture is igneous rock have when magma cools slowly
Coarse
Ways magma is formed
Melting and cooling, changes in composition
The chemical make up of the rock describes its
Composition
A solid mixture of one or more minerals and organic matter
Rock
What kind of grain texture does igneous rock have when magma cools rapidly
Fine
The process in which water wind ice and heat breaks down rock is called
Weathering
What kind of sediment rock is made from fossils
Organic
Scientist classify rocks by
Composition and texture
The results of large pieces of metamorphic rock deep within the earth’s crust colliding
Regional metamorphism
What is the process called in which sediment rock are arranged in layers
Stratification
Rock that is not normally used in a construction material
Halite
What kind of rock is formed from lava that cools on the earth surface
Extrusive igneous rock
What forms when rocks partially or completely melt
Magma
What kind of rock if formed when magma intrudes into other rock
Intrusive igneous rock
The process other than he that can cause metamorphic rock to form
Pressure
