intrusive igneous rock formed slowly from magma deep beneath Earth’s crust; generally contains large, visible minerals
metamorphic rock forms when heat or pressure or both are applied to any kind of rock
nonfoliated texture of metamorphic rocks whose mineral grains have been changed, rearranged, or combined (but did not form parallel bands)
rock a mixture of one or more minerals or a mixture of mineraloids, glass, or organic particles
rock cycle process by which the materials of Earth change to form different kinds of rocks; all rocks are in a constant state of change
