Which type of igneous rock forms under ground?

What process does foliated metamorphic rock undergo?
Foliation

What is the difference between the crust and the lithosphere.
Crust is a part of the lithosphere. Lithosphere also contains the rigid, upper part of the mantle
300
This is the process that aligns minerals in metamorphic rock.
Foliation

Which type of igneous rock cools faster?
Extrusive
400
This type of sedimentary rock has been compacted and cemented together.
Clastic

What appearance does foliated metamorphic rock have?
parallel bands of minerals

A student says that intrusive igneous rocks have larger crystals. Are they correct? Why?
Yes, cools longer
