What are the 3 types of sedimentary rock?
Heat and Pressure
Heat and Pressure
They melt into magma, then cool.
They break into sediments, then the sediments form a sedimentary rock.
They break into sediments, then the sediments form a sedimentary rock.
Magma or lava cools and becomes hard.
Intrusive Igneous Rock
Extrusive Igneous Rock
Coarse Grain
Fine Grain
Sediments
Weathering breaks rock into smaller pieces.
Erosion and Deposition
layers of different sediments in sedimentary rock.
Sediments are compacted and cemented together.
Heat and Pressure
Metamorphism caused by lots of HEAT.
Metamorphism caused by lots of PRESSURE.
The minerals are in bands or layers.
Nonfolliated.
Grain size
Felsic are light colored, Mafic are dark.
Intrusive igneous
The minerals that the rock is made of.
Clastic, Chemical, and Organic
