The Rock Cycle Vocabulary
2
Igneous Rock formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava
3
Sedimentary Rock types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
4
Metamorphic Rocks a result of a transformation of a pre-existing rock. The original rock is subjected to very high heat and pressure, which cause obvious physical and/or chemical changes.
5
Compaction The weight from the layers of sediment forces out liquids and decreases the space between grains.
6
Cementation When minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains.
7
Lithification the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel fluids, and gradually become solid rock. Includes cementation and compaction.
8
Extrusive When volcanic material erupts and cools and crystallizes on Earth’s surface.
9
Intrusive Igneous rocks that form as magma cools underground.
10
Foliated Contain parallel layers of flat and elongated minerals.
