7. ____________ is the process which causes magma to form.
B: igneous 8. Why are some igneous rocks coarse and others are smooth?
Igneous rocks have different textures based on their crystal
heat & pressure size. Crystal size is determined by how quickly the magma
or lava cools.
9. Which type of rock o�en contains fossils and how do you
think this occurs?
Sedimentary rock o�en has fossils. As organisms die their
bodies are trapped between layers of sediment and become
fossilized.
