| Igneous rocks that form at depth. | |
| A term for molten rock once it reaches the surface. | |
| This term refers to the process by which sediments are transformed into solid sedimentary rocks. | |
| Basaltic rocks contain a high percentage of dark silicate minerals, so geologists refer to them as what? | |
| Molten rock generated by partial melting of rocks in Earth's mantle. | |
| The formation of one or more secondary magmas from a single parent magma is called what? | |
| These are produced from preexisting igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks. | |
| This term means 'to change form.' | |
| These type of rocks typically develop in environments where deformation is minimal. | |
| This is a rock composed of unusually large crystals. | |

| Rocks that are left from molten lava that have large crystals embedded in a matrix of smaller crystals have this texture. | |
| During mountain building, great quantities of rock are subjected to directed pressures and high temperatures called what? | |
| This allows us to see many of the interactions among the processes of the Earth system. | |
| Broken down particles. | |
| This type of rock is created through weathering, gravity, and erosional agents. | |
| Layers that are the single most characteristic feature od sedimentary rocks. | |
| Describes the overall appearance of a rock, based on the size and arrangement of its interlocking crystals. | |
| Peridotite is composed mostly of dark silicate materials, so its chemical composition is what type of composition? | |
| Some fluid during solidification moves along the fractures or bedding planes, where it cools and precipitates the metallic ions to produce what? | |
| Rocks containing voids are said to display what? | |
