- 6. metamorphic rocks that have their grains arranged in parallel lines
- 7. Igneous rock that has formed when magma hardened beneath the Earth’s surface
- 9. most rocks are made up of these little particles
- 11. a dark colored with little silica
- 13. a sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together
- 15. the look and feel of the rocks surface
- 16. the process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together
