How is sediment formed?
Igneous rock that is formed as lava cools on the surface of Earth.
What is extrusive igneous rock?
The metamorphic rock that doesn't have layers.
What is non foliated metamorphic rock?
Occurs when minerals such as quartz and calcite are deposited pieces of sediment.
What is cementation?
The metamorphic rock formed from granite.
