QuestionAnswer

a particle of a mineral or of another rock that gives a rock its texture grain
rock that has small grains that are hard to see individually fine-grained
rock with large and easy to see grains coarse-grained
type of rock from magma or lava igneous
type of rock from tiny particles of other rocks pressed together-there are 3 types of this type of this rock sedimentary
type of rock formed from high heat and pressure, underground metamorphic
kind of igneous rock from magma intrusive
kind of igneous rock formed from lava extrusive
most common igneous extrusive rock basalt
most abundant rock in continental crust granite
type of igneous rock texture in which large crystals are scattered on a background of small crystals; this unique texture is from 2 stages of cooling porphyritic

a common clastic rock from water depositing clay in very thin layers- this different rock doesn't even need the stage of cementation to become a sedimentary rock shale
