Two types of Igneous rock
The process in which minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains.
What is cementation?
What is metamorphism?
What is extrusive rock?
The grain size and the way grains fit together in a rock
What is texture?
The two types of metamorphic rock
What are rivers, streams, mountain valleys, and deserts?
What is increases?

What is true?
The three types of sedimentary rock
What are clastic, chemical, and biochemical?
The process where weight from the layers of sediment forces out fluids and decreases the space between grains
What is compaction?
The layer(s) the Earth where metamorphic rocks form
What are the mantle and the crust?
The reason holes form in extrusive rocks
What is because gas escapes from lava but the lava cools too quickly so the holes from where the gases escaped remain.
The major differences between metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
What is that sedimentary rocks form above ground from the processes of erosion, deposition, and cementation where as metamorphic forms below the Earth from intense pressure and heat?
Fossiliferous Limestone is the most common example of _______________.
What is biochemical rock?
The name of the rock that changes during metamorphism
What is the parent rock?
What is true?
What is formed from regional metamorphic rocks
