400
Large crystals
What is a feature of igneous rocks that cool slowly underground?
400
The process of in which sediments compact to form sedimentary rock.
What is lithification?
400
Metamorphic rocks that have a layered appearance as a result of being exposed to heat and pressure. This causes the minerals to become aligned.
