Here are important terms that are NOT currently in your textbook or notebook. Remember to create your OWN 5-word definition (no more, no less) for each term.
crystal structure: the way a mineral is built, with the crystal prism pattern repeating throughout
lithification: the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel fluids, and gradually become a solid rock
metamorphism: the solid state recrystallization of pre-existing rocks due to changes in physical and chemical conditions: primarily heat and pressure
mineral formation: the process of reating a mineral, either through dissolved materials in a solution or melted materials in magma. Crystallization occurs to form minerals.
molten rock: a mixture of melted rock, solid mineral crystals, and dissolved gases
rock composition: all of the components that make up a rock, which may include minerals and other materials, some of which may include soil and decaying organic material
