What is COMPOSITION
200
the grain size and the way grains fit together in a rock

200
Metamorphic Rocks are either ___________________ or ___________________.
What is folliated or nonfoliated
200
Describe how an igneous rock could become a sedimentary rock.
What is UPLIFT ---> WEATHERING/ EROSION ---> SEDIMENTS ---> DEPOSITION/ BURIAL LITHIFICATION ---> SEDIMENTARY ROCK
200
Do intrusive or extrusive rocks cool faster?
What is EXTRUSIVE.
300
the weight of the layers of sediment forces out fluids between rocks & decreases space between grains.
What is COMPACTION
300
these rocks form due to intense heat or pressure.
What is METAMORPHIC ROCKS
300
These types of rocks have large rounded edges.

Describe how a Metamorphic rock could turn into an Igneous rock.
What is MELTS ---> MAGMA ---> COOLING AND CRYSTALIZATION ---> IGNEOUS ROCK
300
Chemical sedimentary rocks form when ______________ crystallize directly from water.
What is MINERALS
400
rock that forms when lava cools too quickly to form crystals
What is VOLCANIC GLASS
400
These rocks form when magma cools and crystalizes.
