Rock Cycle

A type of rock that forms from the cooling of molten rock (magma or lava) at or below the Earth's surface.

• Sedimentary Rock

• Igneous Rock

• Pet Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

A type of rock that forms when particles from other rocks or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together.

• Metamorphic Rock

• Igneous Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Pet Rock

A type of rock that forms from an existing rock that is changed by heat, pressure, and time.

• Igneous Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Pet Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

Igneous rock transforms to metamorphic rock by

• cementation and compaction

• weathering and erosion

• heat and pressure

• melting and cooling

Sediment is transformed to sedimentary rock by

• cementation and compaction

• heat and pressure

• weathering and erosion

• melting and cooling
