The dwayne the rock cycle johnson Flashcards
Rock
a solid made up of many different minerals
sedimentary rock
Rocks that have been formed through the deposition of and solidification of sediment
igneous rock
Formed by a volcano or the solidification of molten rock
Metamorphic rock
Formed by an extreme heat and pressure that changes the structure of the rock
Rock cycle
The process in which rocks are continually transformed between 3 rock types
sediment
Mineral or organic matter carried and deposited by water or wind that may consolidate into rock. (tiny pieces of rocks or minerals)
Weathering
breaks rocks down into sediment using wind, ice, water, extreme temperatures.
erosion
The movement of small pieces of rock or sediment due to wind, water, gravity, and other natural forces.
deposition
when sediments are deposited or dropped of in a different locatio0n
cementation
the hardening and sticking of mineral grains
molten
liquified by heat
magma
a hot, molten rock BELOW!!!!! the earths surface.
Lava
Molten rock that erupts from a volcano. ABOVE!!! the surface.
