What is marble?
Rock property that pertains to the smoothness or roughness of a rock.
What is texture?
This layer is made up of liquid iron and nickel.
What is the outer core?
The process that creates magma.
What is melting?
Sediments that turn to layers of rock over time through deposition, compaction, cementation, and burial.
What is sedimentary rock?
Extrusive igneous rock with air bubbles and a rough texture.
What is scoria?
