Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Basaltic   igneous rocks, are dense and dark-colored  
🗑
Lava   Magma when it has reached Earth's surface  
🗑
Cementation   Occurs when minerals such as quartz, calcite, and hematite are deposited between the pieces of sediment  
🗑
Metamorphic Rock   Rocks that have changed becuase of changes in temperature and pressure or the presence of hot, watery fluids  
🗑
Compaction   Pressure from the upper layers pushes down on the lower layers, if sediments are small, they can stick together and form solid rock  
🗑
Nonfoliated   Mineral grains grow and rearrange, but do not form layers  
🗑
Extrusive   igneous rocks that are formed as lava cools on the surface of the Earth  
🗑
Rock   mixture of rock fragments, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other natural materials  
🗑
Foliated   Mineral grains line up in parallel layers  
🗑
Rock Cycle   Illistrates the processes that create and change rocks  
🗑
Granatic   igneous rocks, are light-colored rocks of lower density than basaltic rocks  
🗑
Sediment   Loose materials such as rock fragments, mineral grains, and bits of shell that have been moved by wind, water, ice, or gravity  
🗑
Igneous Rock   When hot magma cools and hardens  
🗑
Sedimentary Rock   Forms when sediments are pressed and cemented together, or when minerals form from solutions  
🗑
Intrusive   Rocks that form from magma below the surface  
🗑
