The size of the crystals found in an igneous rock is
determined by its........
Rate of cooling
How are land-derived sedimentary rocks classified?
By particle (grain) size
What three processes must occur in order for loose
sediment to be made into sedimentary rock?
Burial – Compaction & Cementation
Name the land-derived sedimentary rock which is
formed by angular fragments the size of pebbles or larger.
