- Q: Define each of these terms. A: A foliation: type of layering that appears in certain rocks caused by the alignment of mineral crystals, Grains: the individual particles in rocks, Igneous rock: type of rock that forms when magma or lava cools and hardens, Lava: molten rock that erupts onto Earth's surface, Lithification: process through which sediment turns into rock, Metamorphic: type of rock that results from changes that occur in existing rocks, Parent rock: name for the original rocks that are changed into metamorphic rocks, Sedimentary: type of rock made of layers that are pressed or cemented together.
