500
why igneous rocks look different
What is the lava/magma cools are different rates
500
the softest and hardest mineral
What is mica and quartz

explanation of the rock cycle
What is melted rock cools into igneous rock. igenous rock breaks into sediments due to weathering. sediments form into sedimentary rocks. sedimentary rocks change into metamorphic rocks due to a change in heat, pressure, or chemical change. metamorphic rock melts and turns back into melted rock
