As rock gets buried through tectonic movement, the pressure and heat causes these types of rocks to form.

• sedimentary

• igneous

• metamorphic

Igneous rock is formed when

• magma cools

• erosion layers rock

• Rock composition changes do to plate burial

What are two ways igneous rock is characterized (SELECT TWO)

• By the type of magma that made it.

• By how quickly it cooled

• By the size of the clasts

• By what mineral it came from.

Igneous Rock that cooled slowly will have ___________ crystals embedded in it.

• larger

• smaller

Also called Volcanic Rock

• Intrusive Igneous Rock

• Extrusive Igneous Rock

This type of igneous rock cools SLOWLY deep underground and forms large crystals.

• Intrusive Igneous

• Extrusive Igneous
