• metamorphic.

• sedimentary.

• banded.

Marble is formed when intense heat and pressure is applied to limestone. What type of rock is marble?

• intrusive igneous

• metamorphic

• extrusive igneous

• sedimentary

Granite is a coarse or medium-grained rock that is rich in quartz and feldspar. It is formed when bodies of magma cool and harden deep below the earth. What type of rock is granite?
