important to note rock types, processes, intermediary states, and shortcuts
IGNEOUS ROCK
Magma cools & solidifies IgneousRock
The Rock Cycle
Weathering-Surface processes that physically disrupt and chemically change rocks
Transport of Weathered Materials
Sediment Deposition

Limestone- sedimentary rock
Marble- metamorphic rock
If there is melting, then it’s not metamorphism
