The final 2 processes that turn sediments into sedimentary rocks?
Compaction and cementation
The lines/layers of a metamorphic rock look different than the lines of a sedimentary rock because
Metamorphic rocks have wavy layers due to heat and pressure warping/moulding the rock.

Obsidian
Igneous rocks are categorized as _________ or _________, depending on where the molten rock cooled.
