1 Type of sedimentary rock is formed from minerals that were once dissolved in water and formed when minerals precipitated from the solution, settle from the Type suspension, of sedimentary or are rock left behind is formed after from the minerals water that were once dissolved evaporates. in water and formed when minerals precipitated from the solution, settle from the suspension, or are left behind after the water evaporates. Type of sedimentary rock that is made up of rock fragments that become compacted or cemented together Type of sedimentary rock that is made up of rock fragments that become compacted or cemented together Process that causes minerals in metamorphic rock to realign into layers due to extreme pressure. The crystallization and removal of different minerals from cooling magma Process that causes minerals in metamorphic rock to realign into layers due to extreme pressure. The crystallization and removal of different minerals from cooling magma The sedimentary rock formation when small sediment settles on the bottom and large grains settle on top The sedimentary rock formation when small sediment settles on the bottom and large grains settle on top The sedimentary rock formation when large grains settle on the bottom and small sediment settles on top The sedimentary rock formation when large grains settle on the bottom and small sediment settles on top The tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size The process that causes layers and beds to form in sedimentary rock The tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size The process that causes layers and beds to form in sedimentary rock Three factors that determine whether rock melts The process by which different minerals melt at different temperatures Three factors that determine whether rock melts The process by which different minerals melt at different temperatures The name for this type of rock means from fire in Latin. The name for this type of rock means changed form in Latin. The name for this type of rock means from fire in Latin. The name for this type of rock means changed form in Latin.

Has small crystals - rock that forms when magma cools and hardens near the earth s surface; the magma cools quickly because it is further from the core & so only small crystals have time to grow. Has small crystals - rock that forms when magma cools and hardens near the earth s surface; the magma cools quickly because it is further from the core & so only small crystals have time to grow. Large crystals - rock that forms when magma cools and hardens deep in the mantle; the magma cools slowly because it is closer to the core & so large crystals have time to grow. Large crystals - rock that forms when magma cools and hardens deep in the mantle; the magma cools slowly because it is closer to the core & so large crystals have time to grow. Mixture of big & small crystals - rock that forms when magma starts out cooling slowly deep in the mantle (so some minerals grow big crystals), but is then moved Mixture closer of big to (or & small onto) crystals Earth s surface - rock that and forms finishes cooling when magma quickly starts (so other out cooling minerals slowly only have deep time in the mantle (so some to grow minerals small crystals) grow big crystals), but is then moved closer to (or onto) Earth s surface and finishes cooling quickly (so other minerals only have time to grow small crystals) Which conditions would produce the largest crystals in igneous rock?
