• igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks

• metamorphic, chemical and non chemical rocks

• sedimentary, inorganic and igneous rocks

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

• melting

• erosion

• deposition

• crystallization

The name rock is given when it is broken down into smaller pieces.

• texture
• weathering
• sediment
• erosion

_______ rock forms from magma/lava

• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary
• Igneous

Sometimes sediments move from one place to another and can settle in layers.  This process is called

• Weathering 
• Erosion
• Expansion
• Sedimentary layering
