Fossils
How do Igneous Rocks turn into sediment?
What do these layers look like?
Wavy, banded layers.
The process where sediment becomes glued together.
Cementation
What do fast cooling rocks look like?
Sometimes they are glassy, other times they have pores.
This movement causes the extreme pressure to make Metamorphic Rocks.
