melted.

Front

Which of the following processes is one of the early steps in the formation of sedimentary rock? Weathering of existing rock, Crystallization of molten minerals, Melting of rock in volcanoes, Chemical reactions that produce heat

Weathering of existing rock

Front

The interlocking crystals of an igneous rock help to classify it since these crystals are evidence of how the rock formed. The crystals are a result of –

Back

melted rock that cooled.

Front

Metamorphic rock forms where any kind of rock –
