You Rock! (rocks, rock cycle)

A rock formed from fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• Extrusive Rock
• Igneous Rock

If heat and pressure inside the Earth cause a rock to melt, the material that formed would be

• Metamorphic
• Magma
• Sedimentary
• Igneous

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

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

• melting

• erosion
