• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• Extrusive Rock

Any rock that forms from another rock as a result of changes in heat or pressure (or both) is a:

• chemical rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

Streak is the color of a mineral’s

• fracture

• luster

• powder

• cleavage

A rock that forms from many small fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

• extrusive rock

The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock begins with

• melting

• erosion

• deposition

• crystallization
