How are Intrusive and Extrusive Textures different and why?
Intrusive has a course texture because it cools slowly and
Extrusive has fine grained texture because it cools quickly.

Describe the whole Rock Cycle.
Magma
cools into Igneous then
breaks into sediment through weathering and erosion then
becomes sedimentary rock through cementation and compaction then
through heat and pressure, it changes into Metamorphic then
it melts back into Magma.
