Earth/Environmental Science
Week 3 Homework: Due Friday, 2/13
1. How are rocks and minerals related? How are they different from each other? Provide an example.
2. You come across a rock with distinct layers. How can you determine whether the rock is sedimentary or metamorphic?
3. Explain why fossils are not found in igneous or metamorphic rocks. What makes this feature exclusive to sedimentary rocks?
4. Compare and contrast the four different textures of igneous rocks and describe how they look.
5. How can meteorology be useful in the study of the rock cycle? Explain.
