UNIT 1 EARTHS PROCESSES

rock that contains parallel layers of flat and elongated minerals

• intrusive

• extrusive

• foliated

• non foliated

Breaking of a mineral along a smooth flat surface

• fracture

• cleavage

• cementation

• abrasion

Circulation of particles within a material caused by differences in thermal energy and density

• convection

• radiation

• conduction

supercontinent that began to break apart approximately 200 mya

• Pangaea

• Laurasia

• Gondwanaland

NGSS.HS-ESS2-1

breaking of a mineral along a rough or irregular surface

• cleavage

• fracture

• compaction

• intrusion

minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains

• deposition

• erosion

• compaction

• cementation

Igneous rock that forms as magma cools underground

• intrusive

• extrusive

• foliated

• nonfoliated

weight from layers of sediment forces out fluid and decreases the space between sediment grains

• deposition

• erosion

• compaction

• cementation

rock that forms from sediments through the processes of uplift, weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation

• Igneous

• metamorphic

• sedimentary

Igneous rock that forms when volcanic material erupts, cools, crystallizes on Earth's surface

• foliated

• non foliated

• extrusive

• intrusive
