    Magma pushes into surrounding rock below the Earth's surface, cools slowly with larger crystal formation.

    intrusive igneous rocks

  • 12

    Forms when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface (lava), cools quickly with very little to no crystals formed.

    Composition of igneous rocks.

    felsic, mafic, intermediate, ultramafic

  • 14

    Light-colored rocks that are rich in elements such as aluminum, potassium, silicon and sodium.

  • 15

    Dark-colored rocks that are rich in calcium, iron, and magnesium, poor in silicon.

    mafic

  • 16

    Between mafic and felsic.

    intermediate

  • 17

    Very dark color

    ultramafic

  • 18

    Texture of igneous rock.

  • 19

    Aphanitic: Phanerithic: Porphyritic: Pyroclastic:

  • 22

    Sedimentary rocks are formed through what?

    lithification

  • 23

    A process of cementing soft, unconsolidated sediments into hard rocks.

    lithification

  • 24

    Types of sedimentary rock.

    clastic, chemical, organic sedimentary

  • 25

    Formed from the accumulation of clast.

    clastic

  • 26

    Formed through the process of weathering and erosion of preexisting rocks, deposition of clasts, and the cementation of the material.

    clastic

  • 27

    A clastic sedimentary rock that are composed of large angular fragments.

    breccia

  • 28

    Formed when dissolved materials precipitate.

    chemical

  • 29

    A sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate in the form of the mineral calcite. It mostly forms in clear, warm, shallow, marine waters.

    limestone

  • 30

    Remains of plants and animals.

    organic sedimentary

  • 31

    An organic sedimentary rocks that forms from the accumulation and preservation of plant materials, usually in a swamp environment.

    coal

  • 32

    Formation of sedimentary rocks.

    erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation

  • 33

    The wearing away of rocks due to wind, water or ice.

    erosion

  • 34

    Happens when the sediments from erosion settle out of the wind, water and ice and are left or deposited in a different place.

    deposition

  • 35

    Sediments build up over time and press down on the layers below.

    compaction

  • 36

    Minerals that are dissolved in water starts to crystallize.

    cementation

  • 37

    Meta: Morph:

    change, form

  • 38

    Metamorphic means?

    change shape

  • 39

    Changes with temperature and pressure, but remains solid.

    metamorphic rocks

  • 40

    Types of metamorphism.

    contact metamorphism, regional metamorphism

  • 41

    Heated by nearby magma. -Increased temperature changes the composition of the rock, minerals are changed into new minerals.

    contact metamorphism

  • 42

    A fine-grained non-foliated metamorphic rock produced by contact metamorphism.

    hornfels

  • 43

    Pressure builds up in rocks that is deep within the Earth. -Large pieces of the Earth's crust collide and the rock is deformed and chemically changed by heat and pressure.

    regional metamorphism

  • 44

    Classification of metamorphic rocks.

    texture, foliation: foliated, non-foliated

  • 45

    Refers to the size arrangement and grains within the rock.

    texture

  • 46

    Any planar arrangement of minerals grains or structural features within the rock.

    foliation
