Describe 2 pathways a sedimentary rock can take to become an igneous rock • Melting- cooling • Heat/pressure-metamorphic rock-melting-cooling
2) What step in the rock cycle helps metamorphic rock to form? Heat & Pressure
3) Describe 2 pathways a igneous rock can take to become a metamorphic rock • heat/pressure- metamorphic rock • Erosion- deposition- compaction- sedimentary rock- heat/pressure- metamorphic rock
4) What step helps turn any kind of rock into a sedimentary rock? Erosion
5)A sedimentary rock made up of rounded fragments of other rocks is called A Clastic rock
6) What step in the rock cycle would be required to change gneiss into sandstone? Erosion
7) A series of processes on Earth's surface and interior that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another is called Rock cycle
8) The texture of a metamorphic rock that has grains arranged in parallel layers is described as foliated
9) Where does the heat that changes a rock into metamorphic rock come from mantle
Rocks are changed into metamorphic rock through what ways? Heat & pressure
Rocks formed by things that were once alive are called what? Organic rocks
How are clastic sedimentary rocks formed? When sediments are compacted, and water reacts with the chemicals in the minerals making them stick together. (cementation)
Describe the process of cementation as it applies to sedimentary rocks. water reacts with the chemicals in the minerals making them stick together.
Describe deposition. When sediments build up on top of each other in one place
Describe erosion. Process where rock is broken down into smaller pieces and transported to a different location
Some igneous rocks have a porphyritic texture. Describe a porphyritic texture. Large grains scattered on a background of much smaller crystals
Describe a coarse grained rock. Large easy to see grains
How do geologists determine a rock’s texture? Grain size, shape, and pattern
21) A metamorphic rock that has grains arranged in bands is said to be what? Foliated
Give 2 examples of a clastic rock. Shale, conglomerate, sandstone, breccia
23) Sandstone changing to quartzite is an example of what process? Metamorphism (heat/pressure)
24) During the rock cycle, forces inside Earth can push rock down toward the heat of the mantle, and produce what type of rock? Metamorphic
