Rocks and the Rock Cycle

2. cycle model depicting the processes of how one kind of rock can change into another kind of rock
5. magma that reaches the Earth's surface
12. heat one thing that a rock needs to be exposed to in order to change into a metamorphic rock
13. type of rock formed from another type of rock being exposed to extreme heat and pressure changing it into another type of rock
14. this type of geology studies the physical properties and location of rock and soil found below the ground surface
15. where weathering occurs
16. process where wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
19. forces out water and decreases space between sediments
20. small piece of rock or other material
21. type of rock that form from the cooling of magma deep inside the earth

1. a weak spot in the crust where magma comes to the surface
3. are also known as strata when talking about rocks and form over time through processes of the rock cycle
4. type of rock that forms from the compression of sediments, dirt, or sand
6. the breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface
7. process in which material is laid down
8. a way that soil and sediments are transported from one location to another
9. molten rock beneath the Earth's surface
10. another thing that a rock needs to be exposed to in order to change into a metamorphic rock
11. process where minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains
17. another way that soil and sediments are transported from one location to another
18. changing from a solid to a liquid
