NGSS.MS-ESS2-1

Formed when old rocks change by heat and pressure.

• Sedimentary Rocks

• Igneous Rocks

• Metamorphic Rocks

Form from magma, cooled and solidified

• Intrusive igneous rocks

• Extrusive igneous rocks

Form from lava, cooled and hardened quickly at or near the surface of the earth.

NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change.

• Igneous rocks

• Metamorphic roks

These rocks like Gneiss, Marble, Quartzite, Schist, Slate and phyllite

• Sedimentary rocks

• Igneous rocks

• Metamorphic roks

These rocks like Basalt, Granite, Obsidian, Rhyolite and Pumice
