8. Metamorphic? Trying to think of any rock and volcano words.

That's the one where the rock crystalises and there's two types, can't remember the names though - one where the lava cools quickly and the crystals are large (I think) and the other where it cools slowly to form small crystals. Or vice versa.

.... about the only bit of geography and physics that I remember.
