	anthracite ("hard coal")	sedimentary / igneous / metamorphic	foliated / not foliated

 
* Sketch a diagram illustrating the materials and processes of the rock cycle.
 
Homework #3:  Due November 2, it requires you to use latitude and longitude, and to know what east and west mean in that context.  If you're uncomfortable with these concepts, you'll need to learn them on your own before doing the homework.  See p. 684-5 in your text.
