Rocks are a mixture of crystals of one or more minerals. Rocks help built structures examples: pyramids › They were used as carving tools
RRock cycle is the rock types change into another rock type. 11. compaction and cementation 22.metamorphism 33. melting 44. cooling 55. solidification 66. weathering 77. erosion 88. deposition
Rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together. Weathering and erosion
Form from heat and pressure
Forms from cooling of magma Melting and cooling
Composition is what the minerals in the rocks are made of Texture is determined by sizes, shapes, and positions.
Intrusive- cools beneath the surface Extrusive- forms on the surface
SStrata is layers that form from deposition of sediment CClastic forms when rock or mineral fragments stick together SStratification layering of sedimentary rock
Foliated is when minerals are aligned Non-foliated is when metamorphic rocks do not appear to have any regular pattern
