GLG 101 Final Exam | questions and answers | 2023/24 Rock Cycle - Magma cools and solidifies creating igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are exposed at the surface and eroded away creating sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rock deform under heat and pressure to form Metamorphic rocks. How we determine the relative ages of rocks - We place rocks in their proper sequence of formation. Which rock formed first,second, third, and so on. Rock Types - Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic Igneous Rock...
