• Magma

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

What must happen to a metamorphic rock before it becomes a sedimentary rock rock?

• It must be broken down into sediment

• It must be melted into magma

• Its minerals must dissolve in water

• It must be exposed to high temperature and pressure

These rocks are often foliated, meaning they have layers.

• Sedimantary

• Sediment

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

As a result of cooling quickly, these rocks develop air pockets and are often very lightweight.

• Intrusive Igneous
