Igneous rock that forms when magma hardens beneath Earth's surface.
What is intrusive rock?

The destructive process in which water or wind loosen and carry away fragments of rock.
What is erosion?

Sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together under high pressure.
What is clastic rock?

The look and feel of a rock's surface, determined by the size, shape, and pattern of a rock's grains.
What is texture?
400
A type of rock that forms from an existing rock that is changed by heat, pressure, or chemical reactions.
What is metamorphic rock?
400
Rock is described as this when all the grains in a rock are large and easy to see.
What is coarse grained?
500
The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together into one mass.
What is cementation?
500
Term used to describe metamorphic rocks whose grains are arranged in parallel layers or bands.
What is foliated?
500
A particle of mineral or other rock that gives a rock its texture.
What is grain?
500
Igneous rock that forms from lava on Earth's surface.
What is extrusive rock?
