How do geologists determine rock types and formation mechanisms?…
How do geologists determine rock types and formation mechanisms? While exploring a fictitious planet, you find an outcrop that shows several different rocks. As you study the rocks more closely, you are able to determine what type of rock (i.e., igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic—or a mix!) is present at your outcrop. Your fictitious outcrop must […]
