As the magma cools different crystals form at different temperature

11
New cards

Metamorphism

A rock that is exposed to extreme heat and pressure but does not melt

12
New cards

Igneous

Form from cooling and hardening of molten magma and can be form by slowly cooling beneath the surface or more quickly at the surface

13
New cards

24
New cards

Glassy

Non ordered solid from rapid quenching

25
New cards

Pyroclastic

Composite of elected fragments

26
New cards

Sedimentary

Formed by the compaction and cementing together of sediments and can be formed through erosion and weathering of other rocks

27
New cards

Sedimentary

Has distinct layering on it's surface and it's commonly found in different bodies of water

28
New cards

Sedimentary

Soft and mabilis magpira-piraso since it's made up of sediments

29
New cards

Erosion

Due to mass movement

30
New cards

Deposition

Carried by wind and water

31
New cards

Compaction

Due to high pressure off layered sediments resulting to binding of elements

32
New cards

Cementation

Layering of sediments one solid sample

33
New cards

Lithification

The process of compaction and cementation

34
New cards

Clastic

Form from class or pieces of other rocks like sandstone, conglomerate, breccia, shale

35
New cards

Organic

Form from hard biological materials like plants, shells, bones that are compressed into rocks

36
New cards

Chemical

Form from chemical precipitation and evaporation

37
New cards

Metamorphic

Forms when minerals in an existing rocks are changed by heat and pressure below the surface and can undo physical and chemical change

38
New cards

Metamorphic

A type of rock that is usually found in deeper crust and is super strong, has smooth texture due to foliation

39
New cards

Regional

Due to changes in pressure and temperature over large region of crust and has direct contact with heat

40
New cards

Contact

Mainly by heat due to contact with magma

41
New cards

Texture

Refers to the size arrangement and grains within rocks

42
New cards

Foliation

Any planar arrangement of mineral grains or structural features within a rock

43
New cards

Mineral

Naturally occurring, inorganic, solid with definite internal structure and chemical composition

44
New cards

Luster

It is the quality and intensity of reflected light exhibited by the mineral

45
New cards
