| Regional Metamorphism | Chanages in rock over an extensive area that occured due to the pressure and high temperatures associated with either deep burial or movements of the Earth's crust |
| Contact Metamorphism | Changes in rock that result from the extreme heat produced by contact with magma and lava |
| Foliated | Metamorphic rock, such as schist and gneiss, whose minerals are squeezed under high pressure and arranged in wavy layers and bands |
| Non-Foliated | Metamorphic rocks that lacks mineral grains with long axes in one direction |
| Rock Cycle | A sequence of evernts that show how rocks are formed, changed, destroyed and reformed from the same parent material |
| Sedimentary Rock | Rock formed by the lithification of sediments |
| Igneous Rock | Rock formed by the cooling and crystallization of molten materials (magma and lava) |
| Mineral | A natural occuring , inorganic, crystalline solid with composition that can be expressed by a chemical symbol or a formula |
| Sediments | Solid particles that have been tranported and then deposited by agents of erosion |
| Lithification | The process of converting sediments into coherent, solid rock |
