| bioclastic | sedimentary rock of once living material |
| clastic | a sedimentary rock of compacted and cemented rock fragments |
| contact metamorphism | when magma forces its way into overlying rock and changes it |
| foliated | similar minerals moving together during metamorphism causing banding or distorted layers |
| igneous | rock formed from cooling of molten material |
| igneous extrusion | lava cooling on Earth's surface |
| igneous intrusion | magma cooling inside the earth |
| metamorphic | rock formed from heat and pressure on another rock |
| nonfoliated | metamorphism with an even crystal distribution |
| organic | material that was or is alive |
| regional metamorphism | caused when large areas of rock are under heat and pressure during mountain building |
| rock | a group of minerals bound together |
| sedimentary | rock formed from sediment bound together in some way |
