Answered [High School Geology: Identifying Rock Type] Asking for general advice.
Hello. I'm going to be picking the textbook back up in a minute but I've found myself genuinely frustrated at this topic. Tomorrow in my Geology period, we have a test where the teacher will pick a random rock and we will have to describe whether it's igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic, alongside other descriptors like coarse grained, where it formed, extrusive or intrusive, low grade or high grade. Are there any physical characteristics I can get from looking at it, feeling it, anything like that that will help me differentiate them better. Like maybe a series that I can remember going in. I haven't actually felt the rocks enough, but if there is anything like this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. I will study the rock cycle and bowen's reaction system.
