Rock Types
The rock cycle started with the molten rock that made up the early surface of planet Earth. Igneous rocks are produced when molten rock cools and solidifies. When exposed at the earth's surface, the rock is broken down into tiny particles of sediment by weathering and erosion. The sediment is gradually buried by more sediment and subjected to higher pressure and temperature. It eventually hardens into sedimentary rock. The rock cycle is completed it melts and forms a magma again. Igneous and sedimentary rocks can become metamorphic rocks if they are buried deeply enough or are affected by plate tectonic processes. Metamorphic rocks exposed at the surface will also weather to form sedimentary deposits.
Vocabulary
Metamorphic rock- Rock change by heat and pressure.
Magma/lava- Molten rock found inside the volcano.
Solidification- Magma became solid by cooling.
Igneous rock- Rocks formed by the cooling and solidifying of molten materials.
Weathering- Breaking rock into pieces.
Erosion- Pieces rock get transported.
Sediment- To form or deposit sediment.
Compaction- Compress of sediment.
Cementation- the heating of two substances in contact in order to effect some change in one of them.
Sedimentary rock- Many sand combine together.
Rock Types
Igneous intrusive- Cooling inside the volcano with big crystals.
Igneous extrusive- Cooling outside the volcano with small crystals.
Sedimentary(Clastic)- breaking up into fragments.
Sedimentary(Crystalline)- Liquid evaporates and formed crystal.
Metamorphic(Foliated)- The rock have lines, with layer in the surface.
Metamorphic(Non-Foliated)- The rock have no lines, with no layer in the surface.
