• Intrusive Igneous Rock
• Metamorphic Rock

Rock formed below ground by magma

• Sedimentary Rock

How do Sedimentary rocks form?

• Sediments are compacted and cemented together in areas that once had water.
• Molten rock cools and hardens into solid rock.
• Rock is buried deep in the earth where it is changed by extreme heat and pressure.

Put Earth's main layers, in order, from the innermost to the outermost.

What process is used to form sedimentary rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.
• Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation
• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turn rocks into new rocks.
• Magma trapped under the Earth's surface cools and solidifies.
