can form from the cooling lava

18
Q

some types are used in building and monuments

19
Q

limestone, coal, shale, fossils

A

sedimentary rocks

20
Q

is formed by erosion

A

sedimentary rocks

21
Q

are moved from one place to another

A

sedimentary rocks

22
Q

no heat and pressured involve

A

sedimentary rocks

23
Q

strata

A

layers of rocks

24
Q

layers of rocks

25
made of fragments of rock cemented together with calcite or quartz
clastic
26
minerals crystallize out of solution to become rock
non clastic (chemical sedimentary)
27
fossils, layers, settling particles
sedimentary rocks
28
igneous rock + pressure and heat =
metamorphic rock
29
sedimentary rock + pressure and heat =
metamorphic rock
30
often called thermal metamorphism, happens when rock is heated up by an intrusion of hot magma
contact metamorphism
31
no discernible source of heat, (no nearby magma chamber)
regional metamorphism
32
contain aligned grains of flat minerals
foliated
33
minerals grain are not arranged in plains or brands
non foliated
