medium grained
What causes metamorphic rocks to form?
Heat and pressure
Magma or lava
I am very sandy and often orangish brown
sandstone
This describes the way a rock feels on the surface
texture
What causes a sedimentary rock to form?

Foliated
What event causes magma or lava to form an igneous rock?
cooling
I look like a bunch of shells got stuck in my skin
coquina
This is something that is made up of two or more minerals

Intrusive and extrusive
I am often used in countertops, I come from under a volcano with large crystals
granite
this is broken pieces of rock
sediment
Sedimentary rocks that form from evaporation such as halite are which category of sedimentary?
Chemical
What causes foliation?
The way the minerals are aligned
Which type of igneous rock has larger crystals? Why?
Intrusive, it cools slower
I am a dalmation looking igneous rock with black and white crystals... who am I?
diorite
this is the process in which sediment comes to rest in a pile
deposition
