Time To Learn About Igneous Rock

The Source of Heat for Melting Rock in the Earth’s Interior?

The Source of Heat for Melting Rock in the Earth’s Interior RADIOACTIVE PROCESSES DEEP WITHIN THE EARTH

The Source of Heat for Melting Rock in the Earth’s Interior RADIOACTIVE PROCESSES DEEP WITHIN THE EARTH Magma is molten rock below the Earth’s surface Lava is molten rock above the Earth’s surface

How Igneous Rock is Divided into Two Groups

How Igneous Rock is Divided into Two Groups The two groups are based on where they form:

How Igneous Rock is Divided into Two Groups The two groups are based on where they form: Intrusive igneous rocks form below the Earth’s surface and have large crystals and a rougher surface

How Igneous Rock is Divided into Two Groups The two groups are based on where they form: Intrusive igneous rocks form below the Earth’s surface and have large crystals and a rougher surface Extrusive igneous rocks form above the Earth’s surface and have small crystals and a smoother surface

How is Metamorphic Rock Made?

How is Metamorphic Rock Made How is Metamorphic Rock Made? Metamorphic rock is made when pre-existing rock is heated and pressurized...but not to the point that that rock completely melts.

The Difference Between Contact and Regional Metamorphic Rock

The Difference Between Contact and Regional Metamorphic Rock Contact metamorphic rock is found in the immediate areas around volcanic conduits (tubes). Only small areas of rock are changed.

The Difference Between Contact and Regional Metamorphic Rock Regional metamorphic rock is found deep in the Earth’s crust and covers very large areas of rock.

What Are The Two Main Divisions Of Metamorphic Rock?

What Are The Two Main Divisions Of Metamorphic Rock? Foliated: meaning the rock shows layers

What Are The Two Main Divisions Of Metamorphic Rock? Foliated: meaning the rock shows layers Non-foliated: meaning the rock does not show layers

What Are The Three Types Of Foliated Metamorphic Rock?

What Are The Three Types Of Foliated Metamorphic Rock? Rock Cleavage – rock breaks in sheets

What Are The Three Types Of Foliated Metamorphic Rock? Rock Cleavage – rock breaks in sheets Gneissic banding – rock has mineral bands but does not break in sheets along those bands

What Are The Three Types Of Foliated Metamorphic Rock? Rock Cleavage – rock breaks in sheets Gneissic banding – rock has mineral bands but does not break in sheets along those bands Schistosity – rock has “platy” layers resembling fish scales
