_____________ rocks are formed when the actual structure of a rock is changed.  Heat and pressure often cause this change, but chemicals are agents of change as well.  This type of rock is typically unlayered.

• Metamorphic
• Igneous
• Sedmimentary
• Lava

What type of rock forms from stratification?

• Intrusive
• Igneous
• Sedimentary
• Metamorphic

Wind, water, and ice breaking down rock is called

• Deposition
• Compaction
• Weathering

Lava which cools on Earth's surface forms an

• metamorphic rock
