What are four kinds of intrusive rock bodies?

Dikes: vertical or near-vertical intrusions that cut across existing rock layers. Sills: horizontal intrusions that occur between existing rock layers. Laccoliths: mushroom-shaped intrusions that cause the overlying rock to bulge upwards. Batholiths: large, dome-shaped intrusions that extend deep into the Earth's crust.


Which sedimentry rocks are formed by chemical precipitation from seawater?

Some examples of sedimentary rocks formed by chemical precipitation from seawater are limestone, dolomite, and evaporites such as rock salt and gypsum. These rocks form when minerals in seawater precipitate out and accumulate over time to create solid rock formations.


Why is metamorphic rock important to the rock cycle?

well it isn't that important but it is just there i guess because when it goes under heat and pressure it will turn from sedimentry rock to metammorphic rock so i would say not so important but if you think wrong please correct me!


How do you find the streak of a rock?

To find the streak of a rock, you can rub the rock against an unglazed white porcelain tile to observe the color of the powder left behind. The color of the streak can help identify the minerals present in the rock.
