Soil Profile
Physical properties of igneous rock include
cementation of smaller rocks
layers
crystals
ribbons
When rocks are deeply buried, placing them under pressure because of the weight of overlying layers, this is called:
lithification
cementation
deposition
compaction
An igneous rock with large crystals in it would have cooled (a)
How do extrusive igneous rocks differ from intrusive igneous rocks?
Extrusive rocks are larger in size.
Intrusive rocks break down quicker.
Extrusive rocks are arranged in layers.
Intrusive rocks have larger crystals.
Compaction and cementation are two common processes associated with:
Extrusive igneous rocks
Intrusive igneous rocks
Sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks
