Quartz
Magma forms this type of Igneous rock, with large crystals.
Intrusive
This sedimentary rock is composed of cemented shell fragments.
Limestone
This metamorphic rock is formed from metamorphism if limestone or dolostone.
Marble
The process by which sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments is this three word phrase.
Compaction and cementation.
This mineral has a hardness of 6.5 and is commonly green to gray or brown, in color.
Olivine
This mafic igneous rock is composed entirely of olivine.
Dunite
This clastic sedimentary rock is composed of cemented pebbles and cobbles that have an angular (not rounded) shape.
Breccia
This texture, seen in Slate, Phyllite, and Gneiss, means that these metamorphic rocks show layers.
Foliation
This type of weathering that could turn sandstone into sand includes wind weathering, frost action, and root action.
Physical weathering
This mineral does not show cleavage, and has a reddish-brown streak.
Hematite
This igneous rock is vesicular, glassy, and darker in color.
Scoria
Dolomite is a crystal formed from this process.
Evaporation
OR
Precipitation
Gneiss is formed from the metamorphism of this igneous rock.
Granite
Copper that experiences chemical weathering due to oxygen exposure, will become this material.
Copper oxide.
