andesitic rock | type of magma that has moderate silica; forms gray or black and white rocks |
basaltic rock | type of magma that is low in silica; forms dark colored rocks |
cementation | mineral forms between sediment and acts as cement |
chemical rock | sedimentary rock formed from evaporation of water that leaves behind minerals |
clastic rock | sedimentary rock formed from fragments of other rock |
compaction | particles are crushed under enormous pressure |
deposition | sediments settle out of water or rain |
erosion | sediments are worn away from existing rock |
extrusive rock | igneous rock that cools quickly above ground; small grains |
foliated rock | metamorphic rock with visible bands or stripes |
granitic rock | type of magma that has high silica; forms light colored rocks |
igneous rock | rock formed from molten rock |
intrusive rock | igneous rock that cools slowly underground; large grains |
metamorphic rock | rock formed by changing another rock due to intense heat and pressure |
non-foliated rock | metamorphic rock without visible bands or stripes |
organic rock | sedimentary rock formed from remains of living things |
sedimentary rock | rock formed from compaction and cementation of tiny particles |
