sediments: mineral or organic matter deposited by water, air, orice.
Igneous: produced under conditions involving intense heat, as rocks of volcanic origin or rocks crystallized from molten magma.
melting: To change from a solid to a liquid state by heating or being heated with sufficient energy at the melting point.
solidification:
to make solid; make into a hard or compact mass; change from a liquid or gaseous to a solidform.
weathering: to discolor, disintegrate,or affect injuriously, as by the effects of weather
Unit 2 Igneous Rocks
melting: the process of becoming liquid by heating pumice: a porus or spongy form of volcanic glass
lava: the molten fluid rock in volcanoes
magma:molten material beneath eath's surface, from which igneous rock is formed obsidian: volcanic glass similar to granite granite: an igneous basalt:a fine grained, basic igneous rock
intrusive igneous rock: an igneous rock thatf orms on the earths surface
extrusive igneous rock: igneous rock that forms on the inside of earth from magma
Unit 3 Sedimentary Rocks
deposition: the state of being deposited
compaction: the state of being compacted
cementation: the act or process of cemting
sediments: mineral or oganic matter, deposited by water, air or ice
weathering: various chemical processes that cause exposed rock to decompose
erosion: the process by which the earth is worn down
sandstone:sedimentary rock consisting of quartz,sand and various substances
shale: rockof fissile or laminated structure formed by the consolidation of clay or argillaceous material.
conglomerate
limestone:rockof fissile or laminated structure formed by the consolidation of clay or argillaceous material.
bituminous coal:
or black coal is a relatively soft coal containing a tarlike substance called bitumen. It is of higher quality than lignite coal
clastic sedimentary rock
chemical sedimentary rock
evaporates
