200
The definition of a rock.
What is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, volcanic glass, or other materials?
300

300
Three ways sedimentary rocks are classified.
What are detrital, chemical and organic?
300
Process by which sediments are pressed together to form rock.
What is compaction?
400
Large sediments are glued together by dissolved minerals to form rock.
What is cementation?
400
Controls the grain size of an igneous rock.
What is the rate at which magma or lava cools?
400
Used by artists to sculpt because it is not as hard as other rocks.

500
Detrital rocks are named according to this.
What are the size and shape of the sediments?
500
