Where does most metamorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rock forms under the Earth's surface.
400
Where do intrusive rocks form and what size are their crystals?
Intrusive igneous rocks form under the Earth's surface and have large crystals.
400
What are the two types of sedimentary rocks?
The two types of sedimentary rocks are clastic and non-clastic.
400
How does a sedimentary rock transform into another type of sedimentary rock?
The sedimentary rock must erode or weather down, then compress and form another rock.
500
What does the term metamorphic mean?
The term means "change form."
500
Where do extrusive rocks form and what size are their crystals?
Extrusive rocks form on the outside of the Earth's surface and have small to no crystals.
500
What is the difference between clastic and non-clastic sedimentary rocks?
Clastic rocks are made from rock fragments, while non-clastic rocks can be made from dissolved minerals or the remains of living things.
