NGSS.HS-ESS2-5

This rock started as lava that cooled and then was heated and put under pressure over time. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentar
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

Intrusive igneous rocks form from

• magma cooling

• lava cooling

• heat and pressure

• weathering and cementing

Intrusive igneous rocks

• are baked

• cool quickly

• cool slowly

• are cemented particles

If a rock cools slowly, it may

• preserve dinosaur bones

• have chunks of pebbles

• be smooth as glass

• form crystals
