| Igneous Rock | formed by the cooling of molten rock |
| 3 Rock Groups | Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic |
| Sedimentary Rock | formed by the deposition of sediments |
| Metamorphic Rock | formed by heat and pressure of other rock types |
| Extrusive | Igneous bodies on the surface of the Earth |
| Intrusive | Igneous bodies that cooled in the interior of the Earth |
| Intrusive Igneous Bodies | Plutons |
| Batholith | largest intrusive igneous body |
| Dike | intrusive igneous body that crosses other layers of rock |
| Sill | parallel intrusive igneous body |
| Weathering | Breakdown of rock |
| Erosion | tranportation of sediments |
| Cementation | water precipitates out and salt can be left behind |
| Compaction | results from increasing pressure |
| Conglomerate | sedimentary rock with a variety of pebbles |
| Rock Cycle | explains how one rock can turn into another |
| Fossils | found in sedimentary rock |
| Mohs Scale | measures the hardness of minerals |
| Sandstone | example of sedimentary rock |
| granite | example of slow cooling igneous rock |
| basalt | example of fast cooling ignous rock |
| Cystallization | brings us minerals from magma |
| Non-renewable resource | cannot be replenished quickly |
| Color | not a useful characteristic in determining an unknown mineral |
| Crystal form | orderly arrangement of atoms in a crystal |
