Rocks

This classification of sedimentary rocks is grouped by the size of the sediments in the rock

This type of rock forms when rocks melt into lava and then cools and solidifiies

Process that squeezes sediments by the weight of the sediments

any solid mass of mineral occurring naturally as part of our planet

The possible paths rocks take as they are recycled in the Earth's crust

These rocks form from erosion, cementation, compaction, or deposition

This takes place when minerals in rocks change into new substances.

this causes spaces between rocks. More compact rock = greater density

This type of rock is changed by heat, pressure, or fluids.

most important agent of metamorphism, causes chemical reaction that make new minerals

involves the weathering and the removal of rock. sediments don't stay in place
