is not proven or observable

Multiple Choice

Melted the rock below the earth is called:

Lava

Magma

Igneous

the process of atoms or molecules arranging into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice in order to minimize their energetic state

Multiple Choice

Crystallization is the

The process of atoms or molecules arranging into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice in order to minimize their energetic state

The process of atoms or molecules melting into a loose , liquid, lattice in order to minimize their energetic state

The process of atoms expanding into large, cubic shapes to enhance electron structures.

Labeling

Drag the labels to the correct area.

Drag labels to their correct position on the image

Extrusive

Intrusive

Drag and Drop

- is a process that squeezes or compacts sediments together

- takes place when dissolved minerals are deposited in the tiny spaces among the sediments

- Any process that break rocks into sediments

- The removal of weathered rocks

- when an agent of erosion (water, wind, ice, or gravity) loses energy, it drops the sediment
