• Metamorphic

• Volcanic

What type of rock undergoes a transformation through high heat and pressure?

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

• Volcanic

The _________ igneous rocks form, the rougher the texture becomes.

• Faster

• Slower

• Hotter

• Colder

Igneous rocks are classified by ___________. Rocks that ___________ are called intrusive rocks, and rocks that ___________ are called extrusive rocks.

• How fast they cool; cool slowly; cool quickly.

• How hot they get; are hotter; are cooler.

• How large they are; are larger; are smaller.

• How dense they are; are denser; are less dense.

How is rock formed through physical sedimentation?

• Magma is deposited on the Earth’s surface where it hardens.

• Water dissolves sediment for later crystallization or use by organisms.

• Sediment is moved continuously by the elements, collecting more rock as it moves.

• Rock is broken down by the elements into tiny fragments that are later deposited and compacted together.
