Unit 5 Mini-Assessment

What process is used to form sedimentary rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.
• Bits of sand and gravel form layers that turn into rock through cementation and compaction.

• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turn rocks into new rocks.
• Magma trapped under the Earth's surface cools and solidifies.

What process is used to form metamorphic rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.
