1. d. all of these choices are correct. 2. b. gabbro 3. c. clay 4. b. igneous 5. c. visible 6. c. organic 7. c. magma 8. c. basalt 9. d. Many metamorphic rocks exhibit banding and distortion of structure.
What are some characteristics of rocks?
Sedimentary rock can become igneous rock through melting and solidification. Metamorphic rock can become sedimentary rock through weathering, erosion, and deposition. Igneous rock can become metamorphic rock through heat and pressure without melting.
The rock formed when molten material cooled slowly is b. gabbro. Gabbro is an known as an intrusive igneous rock that forms from magma cooling slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing large crystals to develop.
Shale is formed from d. decayed plants. Shale is a sedimentary rock results from mud that includes clay and organic matter, such as decayed plants.
The formation of rock from the coolng and hardening of molten material forms b. igneous rock. Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten material, either magma or lava.
Molten material that solidifies inside the Earth forms c. visible crystals. When molten material cools slwly inside the Earth, it is knwn to form igneous rocks with visible crystals.
The name for all sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of plants and animals is organic.
