Three Types of Rocks

What material is used to form igneous rocks?

• magma
• sand
• gravel
• fossils

What process is used to form sedimentary rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.
• Bits of sand and gravel form layers that turn into rock from pressure.
• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turn rocks into new rocks.
• Magma trapped under the Earth's surface cools and solidifies.
