Igneous rocks that cool quickly on the surface of Earth are said to be:

• intrusive
• extrusive
• granite
• magma

The process by which metamorphic rocks are formed is:

• heat and pressure
• compaction and cementation
• melting and cooling
• weathering and erosion

_______ rock forms when magma or lava cools and hardens

• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Oceanic

If you find seashells in a rock, you know it is:

• igneous
• sedimentary
• metamorphic
• oceanic

Rocks formed from pieces of other rocks are:

• Igneous
• Sedimentary
• Metamorphic

The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together is:

• compaction
• cementation
• deposition
• erosion

An igneous rock can become ______.

• metamorphic

When sediment is moved by things such as water, this is called:

• Wind
• Erosion
• Metamorphosis
• Weathering

The name rock is given when it is broken down into smaller pieces.

• texture
• weathering
• sediment
• erosion

Where do most metamorphic rocks form?
