Worksheet time: 5mins
The rock shown is composed primarily of large crystals that were formed by —
cooling magma
compacting shells
weathering
faulting
When granite is subjected to high enough amounts of heat and pressure to change it but not melt it, granite changes into —
a metamorphic rock
an igneous rock
sediments
a sedimentary rock

clastic & nonclastic
extrusive & intrusive
clastic & recrystalized
foliated & nonfoliated
Which of these best describes intrusive igneous rock?
solidifies from lava, cools quickly, large crystals
solidifies from lava, cools slowly, small crystals
solidifies from magma, cools quickly, large crystals
solidifies from magma, cools slowly, large crystals
