rock cycle

2. Clastic sedimentary rock composed of large, rounded fragments.
4. Molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface
6. The process by which sediments settle out of the transporting medium (water, wind, ice).
7. Igneous rock composition rich in silica and feldspar, typically light-colored.
9. Type of sedimentary rock formed from the precipitation of minerals from water as it evaporates (e.g., rock salt, gypsum).
10. Igneous rock that forms from lava cooling quickly on the Earth's surface.
11. The processes (compaction and cementation) that convert loose sediment into solid sedimentary rock.
12. A key agent of metamorphism involving directed or confining forces.
15. Metamorphic rock texture with parallel alignment of minerals.
20. Igneous rock that forms from magma cooling slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
22. A large body of intrusive igneous rock formed deep within the Earth's crust.
23. A major component of many rocks, chemically silicon dioxide
24. Molten rock that has erupted onto the Earth's surface.
26. The physical removal and transport of weathered material by agents like water, wind, ice, or gravity.
28. Clastic sedimentary rock composed of large, angular fragments.
31. Type of sedimentary rock composed of minerals precipitated directly from solution (e.g., limestone formed chemically, chert).
32. Sedimentary rocks primarily composed of carbonate minerals like calcite (limestone) or dolomite (dolostone).

1. Igneous rock composition with a chemical makeup between felsic and mafic.
3. Metamorphism occurring adjacent to an intruding magma body, caused primarily by heat.
5. High-grade metamorphic rock characterized by distinct banding of light and dark minerals.
8. The breakdown of rocks, soil, and minerals through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.
13. Metamorphism caused by intense pressure and temperature over large areas, often during mountain building.
14. Metamorphic rock texture lacking parallel alignment of minerals.
16. The movement of sediment from its source area to where it is eventually deposited.
17. Fine-grained sedimentary rock containing kerogen, from which petroleum can be yielded.
18. Size The average diameter of the particles that make up a clastic sedimentary rock.
19. A key agent of metamorphism involving thermal energy.
21. Low grade, foliated metamorphic rock, often derived from shale, splits easily into thin sheets.
25. A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow; high in felsic magma, low in mafic magma.
27. Type of sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of organic debris, like coal or some limestones.
29. Type of sedimentary rock made from fragments (clasts) of pre-existing rocks.
30. Igneous rock composition rich in magnesium and iron, typically dark-colored and dense.
