  1. 4. Metamorphosed limestone, featuring a smooth, polished surface, often used in sculptures and architecture.
  2. 6. Composed of sand-sized mineral, rock, or organic particles, often used in construction.
  3. 7. An igneous rock with a porous and lightweight texture, often used as a abrasive or in horticulture.
  4. 12. Rock Composed of accumulated sediments, such as sand or mud, compacted and cemented over time; examples include limestone and sandstone.
  5. 13. A metamorphic rock primarily composed of quartz, formed from sandstone subjected to heat and pressure.

  1. 1. A metamorphic rock that can be easily split into thin sheets, commonly used for roofing and flooring.
  2. 2. A metamorphic rock characterized by banded layers of minerals, commonly used in landscaping.
  3. 3. A foliated metamorphic rock with visible mineral grains, often used in construction.
  4. 4. Rock Altered by heat and pressure, changing the mineral composition and texture; examples include marble and slate.
  5. 5. Composed of rounded gravel and pebble-sized clasts cemented together, forming a coarse-grained rock.
  6. 8. A sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate, often containing fossils.
  7. 9. Rock Formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, often having a crystalline structure; examples include granite and basalt.
  8. 10. A type of igneous rock with large crystals, commonly used in construction and countertops.
  9. 11. A fine-grained sedimentary rock formed from clay, mud, or silt, often breaking into thin layers.
