Rocks, Rock Cycle and Layers of the Earth Review Igneous Rock Forms when hot liquid/magma cools and hardens Sedimentary Rock Forms when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces and harden Metamorphic Rock Forms when rock is heated or squeezed Rock Cycle Continual process by which new rocks form from old rocks Rock Solid mixture of crystals of one or more minerals Weathering Breaking of rocks into smaller pieces Erosion Wind, Water, and Ice break off and carry grains of rock Deposition Process of water, ice, and gravity dropping newly formed sediments Composition Chemical make up of an object or combo of minerals made of Lithosphere Crust and Upper Mantle of the Earth Lithosphere Asthenosphere Region below the Lithosphere Mantle Portion of Earth between Crust and Core Upper, Middle, and Lower Outer Core Liquid portion of Earth’s Core closer to Mantle Inner Core Solid portion of Earth’s Core; Very Center of Earth Where are rocks found? Igneous Outside and inside Earth Near Volcanoes Where are rocks found? Sedimentary Outside Earth on Canyons, Mountains, Sea Floor Where are rocks found? Metamorphic Inside Earth; at Plate Tectonic Zones What types of: Igneous Intrusive Extrusive What types of: Sedimentary Clastic Nonclastic Chemical What steps for the rock to form? Igneous Rock Melts to Magma Cools What steps for the rock to form? Sedimentary Rock Weathering/Erosion Deposition Compaction Cementation What steps for the rock to form? Metamorphic Rock Heat Pressure Layers of the Earth Crust Oceanic Crust Middle Mantle Continental Crust Upper Mantle Lithosphere Convection Currents Asthenosphere Lower Mantle Outer Core Inner Core
