Answer 2

Sedimentary, metamorphic, igneous rock, volcano, clastic and strata are the words after unscrambling.

Explanation:

All are terms of geology:

1. Sedimentary - Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms.
2. Metamorphic - Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
3. Igneous - Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust.
4. Volcano - A volcano is an opening in the earth’s crust through which lava, volcanic ash, and gases escape.
5. Clastic - Clastic sedimentary rocks are rocks composed predominantly of broken pieces or clasts of older weathered and eroded rocks.
6. Strata - Rock layers are also called strata (the plural form of the Latin word stratum), and stratigraphy is the science of strata. Stratigraphy deals with all the characteristics of layered rocks.
