Earth and Space Science 1.3

Metamorphism because of direct pressure

Particles of minerals, rock fragments, shells, leaves, and the remains of once-living things

Melted rock beneath the Earth’s surface

Igneous rock that forms when magma cools beneath Earth’s surface

Type of sedimentary rock composed of minerals that were once dissolved in water/formed from evaporation or precipitation

A hard substance composed of one or more minerals.

Rock formed when the mineral composition of existing rocks change because of heat, pressure, or chemical reactions

Shale is an organic sedimentary rock made of carbon from ancient plant remains

The process by which one rock type changes into another

What is an example of an igneous rock?

What is an example of a metamorphic rock?

Rock formed from sediments that have been compacted and cemented together.

Chemical Sedimentary Rocks can form from evaporation or precipitation

Metamorphic rocks with an unfoliated structure have visible layers aligned in planes.

Pumice is a volcanic rock that has holes in it because when it formed there were gas bubbles trapped inside

Metamorphism because of heat from magma

Metamorphism because of heat and pressure

The process of change in the structure and mineral composition of a rock because of heat and/or pressure

Most common sedimentary rock. It is made when separate rock particles and fragments compact and cement

Rock that forms from cooled and hardened magma or lava

Igneous rock that forms when lava cools on Earth’s surface

Magma that has reached the Earth’s surface

Most of the time when magma or lava cools very quickly, the crystals are too fine to see.

Which is not one of the main types/groups of sedimentary rock?
