What is sediment
The term "metamorphic" means this
What is "changed form"
Most igneous rocks can be identified as this, or made of crystals
What is crystalline
There are two main processes that convert loose sediment to sedimentary rock, what are they?
Compaction and cementation

What is deep within Earth's Crust
The mineral composition of an igneous rock is determined by the ________ __________ of the magma from which the rock formed
What is chemical composition
This is a type of sedimentary rock that forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or connected together
what is a clastic sedimentary rock
A change in the texture, structure, or chemical composition of a rock due to contact with magma is called what?
There are many different types of igneous rock textures, name two of them
What are coarse-grained, fine-grained, porphyritic, glassy, and vesicular
The layering of sedimentary rock is also known as this
What is stratification
Regional metamorphism takes place when changes in two things occur, what are they?
Temperature and pressure
Magma that cools deep inside the crust forms this type of rock, while lava that cools at Earth's surface forms this type of rock (The order that you answer in matters)
What are intrusive igneous rocks and extrusive igneous rocks
This type of sedimentary rock forms from the remains of living things
What is an organic sedimentary rock
During metamorphism what three things cause some minerals to change into other minerals
What are heat, pressure, and hot fluids
