Endogenic Process & Metamorphism Flashcards
It is the inclusion of the rock layers forming the earth’s crust
Intrusion
Molten material in the form of lava that undergoes the process of crystallization on the natural terrestrial surface gives birth to rock formations known as __________
Volcanites
Interacts with the surrounding rock as the it moves toward the surface.
magma
High Temperature; High Pressure
Shock Metamorphism
As it moves upwards and cools down, magma becomes more viscous due to formation of _________ ____________ _____________.
silica tetrahedra chains
Partial melting happens due to the ___________ ______________ _________ of the minerals mixed into the mantle rocks.
different melting points
increases with depth as a result of the increased weight of overlying rock.
Pressure
Metamorphic Grade- low grade
Slate
refers to all sorts of igneous geologic activities taking place below Earth’s surface
Plutonism
Most Magmas near the core are entirely liquid because there is ___ _____ _____________for the atoms to bond together.
too much energy
Higher pressure led to higher
Melting points
Takes place tens of kilometers below the surface where temperatures and pressures are high enough to transform rock without melting it.
Metamorphism
Metamorphic reactions starts at __________ km from the surface
8-15 km
All sorts of geological activities correlated with the flow and transportation of igneous material from the planet’s interior towards the natural terrestrial surface.
Volcanism
Geological process that was formed, originated, and located below the surface of the earth
Endogenic Process
Diagenesis + Lithification + Cementation. Low temperature; Low Pressure
Burial Metamorphism
When the process of crystallization takes place inside the crust, the magmatic rocks produced are called ________
Plutonites
