Which best explains sedimentary rock?
a) rocks that are made from the compaction and cementation of sediments or through chemical/evaporitic processes
b) Rocks made from cooling and crystallization of magma or lava
c) refers to the size, shape, and arrangement of grains in rock
d) applying pressure to sediments
Which best explains metamorphic rock?
a) Rocks made from cooling and crystallization of magma or lava
