igneous rocks form near__________________

volcanoes

the process where windand rain break down rocks

weathering

if I find a rock that is light-colored, breaks easily, and/or contains fossils, what type of rock is it?

sedimentary

What type of rock are granite, basalt, and pumice?

igneous

what causes a rock to turn into a metamorphic rock?

what type of rock are sandstone and limestone?

sedimentary

this type of igneous rock forms on the earth surface/volcano

extrusive

rocks formed when the lava from volcanoes cools down

igneous

the process where particles of rock and soil pile up

deposition

what causes a rock to turn into an igneous rock?

rocks melt, become magma/lava, and then the magma/lava cools

rocks formed from weathering, erosion, and deposition

sedimentary

what is the process that presses together sediment particles

compaction

what three processes are responsible for sedimentary rocks?

weathering, erosion, and deposition

3 main types of rocks

igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic

Rocks are made from a mixture of _________________

minerals

if I find a rock that is smooth and glassy with sharp edges, what type of rock is it?

igneous

rocks formed from extreme heat and pressure

metamorphic

what is the difference between compaction and cementation?

compaction squeezes the particles together, and cementation hardens them

this type of igneous rock forms inside the earth surface/volcano

intrusive

what two processes form metamorphic rock?

heat and pressure

What is the difference between magma and lava?

magma formed below ground, lava is above ground
