| 3 types of rock | sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic |
| sedimentary rock | formed under the earth from erosion and depostion of sediments |
| igneous rock | formed from melting and cooling |
| metamorphic rock | formed from high temperatures and pressure under the earth |
| basalt | rock making up the oceanic plates |
| granite | rock making up the continental plates |
| sedimentary example | shale and sandstone |
| weathering | breaking apart of rock due to the forces of wind, rain, and chemicals |
| erosion | movement of the broken up rock and other sediments due to wind and water |
| depostion | dropping of sediments |
| lithification/compaciton and cementation | sediments turning into rock |
| intrusive | igneous rock formed inside the earth from cooling magma like granite |
| extrusive | igneous rock formed outside the earth from lava like basalt |
| foliated | metamorphic rock formed from unequal pressure causing stripes like gneiss |
| nonfoliated example | metamorphic rock formed from equal pressure like marble and quartz |
| 3 sediments | sand, mud, lime |
| sandstone | sedimentary rock formed from sand |
| shale | sedimentary rock formed from mud |
| limestone | sedimentary rock formed from lime |
| metamorphic rock from sandstone | quarzite |
| metamorphic rock from shale | slate |
| metamorphic rock from limestone | marble |
