True/False: Igneous rocks can only turn into metamorphic rocks.

• True
• False

The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue sediment together.

• compaction
• deposition
• organic rock
• cementation

Rock that forms when minerals form from solutions or sediment from older rocks get pressed and cemented together.

• Sedimentary Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Igneous Rock

Rock that forms when pressure, temperature, or chemical processes change existing rock.
