Rock Cycle
#1 A Metamorphic rock melts into lava which cools and hardens Igneous
#2 A Sedimentary rock is recrystallized at high temperature and pressure Metamorphic
#3 An Igneous rock is weathered into sand which gets compacted Sedimentary
#4 An Igneous rock is recrystallized at high temperature and pressure Metamorphic
#5 A sedimentary rock that erodes into sediment that gets compacted and cemented Sedimentary
Intrusive Igneous Structures
#1 A sheet of magma flows between rock layers and hardens parallel layers sill
#2 An underground intrusion less than 100 km2 stock
#3 Largest intrusive feature (forms the core of many Mt. ranges). Batholith
#4 Formed when magma forces itself vertically across rock layers and hardens Dike
#5 Identify the following picture: Laccolith
Igneous Rock Textures
#1 Igneous rocks that are formed deep underground have what kind of texture? Coarse grained
#2 Igneous rocks that cool super fast, and have no crystals have what kind of texture? Glassy
#3 igneous rocks that form on the surface and cool quickly have what kind of texture? fine grained
#4 Igneous rocks that look like 'frozen pepsi foam' have what kind of texture? Pumice
#5 An igneous rock that has both large and small crystals has what kind of texure? Porphyritic

Igneous Rocks in General
#1 A Metamorphic rock is weathered into pebbles which get compacted Sedimentary
#2 Large amounts of lava come out and fill in the valleys. What is this called? Lava plateau
#3 A fine grained extrusive igneous rock. Basalt
#4 Igneous rocks formed underground are called Intrusive
