What is the primary difference between sand and clay?

Back

They have different sizes.

Front

What type of igneous rock is characterized by large crystal sizes?

Back

Intrusive igneous rock.

Front

How do intrusive igneous rocks cool compared to extrusive igneous rocks?

Back

Intrusive igneous rocks cool slowly, resulting in large crystal sizes.

Front

What type of metamorphic rock is known for having wavy stripes?

Back

Foliated metamorphic rock.

Front

What is the type of metamorphism that occurs over larger areas of land?

Back

Regional metamorphism.

Front

Define igneous rock.

Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of molten material (magma or lava).

Front

What are the two main types of igneous rocks?

Back

Intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks.

Front

What is the cooling rate of extrusive igneous rocks?

Back

Extrusive igneous rocks cool quickly.

Front

What is the texture of intrusive igneous rocks?

Back

They typically have a coarse-grained texture due to slow cooling.

Front

What is foliation in metamorphic rocks?

Back

Foliation is the alignment of mineral grains in a rock, resulting in a layered or banded appearance.
