Answers will vary. Sample answer:
Clastic sedimentary rock is formed
from rock fragments that are
cemented together by calcite or
quartz. Chemical sedimentary rock is
made of dissolved minerals that
eventually crystallize.
Answers will vary. Sample answer:
Contact metamorphism occurs when
magma comes into direct contact with
rock. Regional metamorphism occurs
when large pieces of the Earth’s crust
collide with each other.
Answers will vary. Sample answer:
Under a microscope a nonfoliated
rock will not have mineral grains that
are aligned.
Answers will vary. Sample answer:
Limestone is formed from the remains,
or fossils, of animals that once lived in
the ocean.
Answers will vary. Sample answer:
Rocks recrystallize when the crystals
of the minerals change in composition.
Rocks like granite and marble are
good building materials because they
can withstand weathering for long
periods of time.
Answers will vary. Sample answer: An
extrusive rock formation reveals that
there is a lot of activity, perhaps
volcanic, going on below the Earth’s
surface.
All three rock types weather when
they are uplifted to the earth’s surface,
forming sediments that cover the
Earth’s surface
a. igneous rock
b. composition
c. texture
