What is Mafic and Felsic?
300
Loose materials, such as rock fragments mineral grains, and bits of shell, that have been moved by wind, water, ice and gravity
What are Sediments?
300
This causes a rock to become metamorphic.
What are heat and pressure?
300
Solution of water moving through soil and rock between sediments, and holding the sediments together like glue.

What is porphyritic?
500
Type of sedimentary rock that is formed from the remains of once living things.
What are organic sedimentary rocks?
500
When mineral grains (crystals) line up in parallel layers. (Hint - Playdoh lab!)
