D
While visiting the Grand Canyon, Whitney noticed it contains many layers of sedimentary rock
A

A
A river slows down as it enter the sea. As river slows down, it deposit large amounts of sediment. Which term best describes the type of sedimentary rocks that will eventually form from the sediment?
C
Basalt is dark colored, fine grained igneous rock with well developed crystals. Which term correctly identifies the class of rock that each rock belong to
A
Cementation is when
B
Conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone are all examples of sedimentary rocks. Which of the following is the process of formation the these rocks have in common?
B
Granite forms when liquid magma slowly cools within earth's crust. If the granite is exposed to intense heat and pressure, it can change to gneiss. Which type of change takes place when granite turns into gneiss
A
Igneous rocks form when magma cool and solidifies. As the magma cools, minerals form. What effect will the rate at which the magma cools have on the texture of the igneous rock?
