Igneous Rocks
What Are The Two Types Of Igneous Rock?
Extrusive and Intrusive
What are the 3 types of sedimentary rocks?
Organic, Clastic and Chemical.
What are the 2 types of metamorphic rock?
Foliated and Nonfoliated
How is Extrusive Igneous rock formed?
Extrusive Igneous Rock is formed by magma erupting from the volcano and turning into lava, the lava cools quickly and turns into extrusive igneous rock.
How is Organic sedimentary rock formed?
Organic sedimentary rock is formed by fossils.
How is foliated metamorphic rock formed?
Foliated metamorphic rock is formed when the minerals inside the rock are squeezed together with high pressure.
How is Intrusive Igneous rock formed?
Intrusive Igneous rock is formed by magma cooling below Earth's surface.
How is Clastic sedimentary rock formed?
Clastic sedimentary rock is formed by sediments compacted together.
How is non foliated metamorphic rock formed?
Non foliated metamorphic rock is formed with low pressure.
What is the difference between Intrusive and Extrusive igneous rock?
Extrusive has smaller crystals Intrusive has larger crystals.
How is Chemical sedimentary rock formed?
Chemical sedimentary rock is formed by water evaporating.
what is the difference between non foliated and foliated metamorphic rock?
Foliated is in bands and non foliated isn't in bands.
Where are Extrusive Igneous rocks commonly found?
The sides of Volcanoes
What do sedimentary rocks typically look like?
Sedimentary rocks typically have layers.
Where is non foliated metamorphic rock found?
Non foliated metamorphic rock is typically found near igneous rock.
