Can be either intrusive or extrusive., Compaction, adding pressure to layers or the squeezing of sediments together, Metamorphic Rock, Type of rock created from intense heat and pressure within deep inside the Earth, Weathering, breaking down rock into smaller pieces through physical or chemical processes, Sedimentary Rock , Type of rock that is created from the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition, Deposition, settling of sediments into layers after weathering and erosion have taken place, Lava, Molten rock outside of the Earth, Sediments, are tiny particles of rock left over after being weathered, Erosion, the movement or transportation of sediments from one place to another, Rock Cycle, Rocks changing into different types of rocks , Magma, Molten rock within the Earth, Crystalline structure, a highly ordered, repeating three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a solid material, Cementation, geological process in which dissolved minerals precipitate out of groundwater and harden in the pore spaces between sediment grains, binding them into solid sedimentary rock, "Ribbonlike layers" aka "foliation", wavy lines/stripes in metamorphic rock that show evidence of extreme heat and pressure, Fossils, Imprints of leaves, shells, insects, or other items often found in sedimentary rocks.
