Sedimentary rock that has heat and pressure applied changes to what type of rock?
What is metamorphic rock?
300
Process by which rock is broken down by wind, water, and ice?
What is weathering?
300
Heat and pressure can change Igneous rock into what type of rock?
What is Metamorphic?
300
Sedimentary rock that is formed when mineral rich water evaporates? example - limestone and halite
What is chemical?
300
A type of metamorphic rock that has long, ribbon like layers.
What is foliated?
300
Compaction and cementation of sediment becomes what?
What is sedimentary rock?
400
Process by which sediment is pressed together under its own weight is what?
What is compaction?
400
Type of rock that forms on Earth's surface when lava cools, characteristic may have a glassy surface?
What is extrusive igneous rock?
400
Sand, pebbles, and fossils are characteristics of what type of rock?
What is sedimentary?

Metamorphic can be made of these two rocks
Sedimentary or Igneous
400
Metamorphic and Igneous rock become what when melted?
What is magma?
