200
The movement of sediment.
What is erosion?
200
These two things are required for a metamorphic rock to form.
What are heat and pressure?
200
A rock that was sediment, then went under pressure, then was melted down and crystalized or cooled inside a volcano is this type of rock.
What is a igneous rock?
200

Refers to the size of individual mineral crystals or clasts (pieces of pre-existing rock) in a rock.

What is Grain size?
