4 RRock cycle is the rock types change into another rock type. 11. compaction and cementation 22.metamorphism 33. melting 44. cooling 55. solidification 66. weathering 77. erosion 88. deposition

5  Rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together.  Weathering and erosion

6  Form from heat and pressure

7  Forms from cooling of magma  Melting and cooling

8  Composition is what the minerals in the rocks are made of  Texture is determined by sizes, shapes, and positions.

9  Intrusive- cools beneath the surface  Extrusive- forms on the surface

10 SStrata is layers that form from deposition of sediment CClastic forms when rock or mineral fragments stick together SStratification layering of sedimentary rock

11  Foliated is when minerals are aligned  Non-foliated is when metamorphic rocks do not appear to have any regular pattern
