| batholith | large puton of intrusive igneous rock forming the core of a mountain |
| cementation | process by which particles are bound as minerals fill in spaces |
| chemical rock | formed by precipitation of minerals from solution caused by evaporation or chemical action |
| clastic rock | formed from fragments of other rock moved and collected by running water |
| contact metamorphism | hot magma moves into existing rock heating and changing it |
| deform | heat from friction stress pressure causes a rock to change shape |
| deformational metamorphism | occurs at low temperatures caused by pressure caused by stress and friction |
| dike | intrusive rock that crosses through existing rock layers via cracks |
| extrusive rock | magma cools quickly on surface with fine grain texture of small crystals |
| felsic | thick slow moving magma with large amounts of silica forms quartz and orthoclase feldspar |
| foliation | wavy parallel bands characteristic of metamorphic rocks |
| fossil | remains impression evidence of plant or aninmal remains preserved in rock |
| geode | spheres of silca rock lined with crystals formed of dissolved minerals |
| gneiss | metamorphized granites and conglomerates |
| granite | coarse grained intrusive igneous rock |
| igneous rock | formed by cooling and hardening of hot molten rock |
| intrusive rock | magma cools beneath slowly surface with coarse grain texture of large crystals |
| mafic | thinner more fluid magma with large amounts of iron & magnesium forms horneblend and biotite |
| magma | hot molten rock |
| marble | metamorphized limestone |
| metamorphic rock | formed by effect of heat and pressure on other rocks |
| metamorphism | process by which rock structure is changed by pressure heat and moisture |
| obsidian | quick cooled glassy extrusive volcanic rock |
| organic rock | forms from sediments of the remains of plants and animals |
| pluton | igneous intrusions formed when magma cools inside Earth |
| pumice | quick cooled extrusive rock hardened as steam and gases bubbled |
| quartzite | metaqmorphic sandstone |
| regional metamorphism | occurs during mountain building movements of crust |
| rock | group of minerals bound together |
| rock cycle | repeated series of events by which rock gradually and continually cahnges |
| schist | metamorphized shales and basalts |
| sediment | materials such as rock fragments plant and animal remains that settle out of water |
| sedimentary rock | formed by compaction and cementation of layers of sediments |
| sill | intrusive rock that runs parallel to existing rock layers via cracks |
| slate | metamorphized shale |
| stratification | arrangement of sedimentary rock in visible layers |
