Mineral and Rock Quizizz

Rocks are classified as sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic based on

• the way the rock forms

• the size of minerals in the rock

• the temperature at which the rock forms

• what the rock is made of

Which of the following is NOT involved in the formation of sedimentary rock?
