Types of Rocks #3

Sedimentary and Igneous rock can change into Metamorphic rock through

• Weathering and settling
• Cooling and hardening
• Erosion and cementing
• Pressure and heating

Sedimentary rock CAN BE made from 

• molten lava.

• crystalization.

• pressed and heated conditions.

• minerals, plant, and animal remains.

A rock that is sedimentary 

• comes from a build up of deposits.
• does not turn into sediment.
• cannot come from anything living.
• needs magma to form from metamorphic rock.

Igneous rock is formed from cooling magma.

• TRUE
• FALSE

Which process is an important step in making all sedimentary rock?

• erosion
• intense heat
• compaction
• weathering

Which rock is a metamorphic rock?

• limestone
• marble
• basalt
• granite

Which rock is formed as a result of weathering and erosion, then the tiny particles can become compacted and cemented together?

• igneous
• sedimentary
• metamorphic

Rocks formed from cooling lava and found at the base of an inactive volcano.

• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary

Rocks found in mountainous regions where the heat and pressure have transformed rocks and brought them to the surface.

• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary

Rocks found around deep sea vents where magma seeps out and is hardened by cold sea water.

• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary
