Process Rocks

The process in which minerals hold sediment together to make a detrital sedimentary rock.

• cementation

• marble

• limestone

• weathering

A kind of foliated metamorphic rock

• limestone

• slate

• obsidian

• sedimentary

a kind of chemical sedimentary rock

• limestone, because dissolved materials precipitate from solution.

• slate, because heat a pressure cause metamorphosis to occur

• granite, because the material has melted and cooled

• marble, because it metamorphosed from limestone

The process in which pressure from upper layers of sediment pushed down on lower layers, causing the lower layers of sediment to stick together and form rock.

• metamorphosis

• melting and cooling

• compaction

• weathering and erosion

Weather is the process in which rock is

• exposed to air, water, or ice and breaks into pieces.

• formed from cooling magma

• formed from cooling lava

• changed by great heat and pressure

Coal is a kind of

• metamorphic rock from from shale.

• extrusive igneous rock.

• organic sedimentary rock.

• intrusive igneous rock.

Marble is a kind of

• foliated metamorphic rock.

• human-made building material.

• non-foliated metamorphic rock

• igneous rock

Erosion is

• a process in which rock is exposed to air, water, or ice and breaks into pieces.

• the movement of weathered pieces of material, such as sediment or rocks.

• the melting and cooling of magma and lava

• the folding of rocks by great forces.
