Rock Cycle Types of Rocks (30 questions) with photos

igneous rock

• a white, metamorphic rock formed from limestone
• the only type of rock that can have fossils
• type of rock formed from cooled magma or lava
• type of rock formed from layers of sediments compacted together

metamorphic rock

• type of rock formed from cooled magma or lava
• igneous rocks that form from cooling magma BELOW Earth's surface
• type of rock created through heat and pressure below Earth's surface
• igneous rocks that form from the cooling of lava ON Earth's surface

sedimentary rock

• a type of sedimentary rock that sometimes has fossils
• type of rock created through heat and pressure below Earth's surface
• type of rock formed from cooled magma or lava
• type of rock formed from layers of sediments compacted together

Cooling

• processes that form metamorphic rocks
• process that changes solid rock into molten rock
• processes that turn sediments into sedimentary rock
• process that hardens magma & lava into rock

Erosion

• process that MOVES sediments by wind, water, or ice
• processes that turn sediments into sedimentary rock
• process that breaks down rocks into sediments
• process that changes solid rock into molten rock

Weathering

• process that breaks down rocks into sediments
• process that changes solid rock into molten rock
• processes that turn sediments into sedimentary rock
• process that hardens magma & lava into rock

Compaction and Cementation

• processes that turn sediments into sedimentary rock
• process that MOVES sediments by wind, water, or ice
• processes that form metamorphic rocks
• process that breaks down rocks into sediments

intrusive igneous rock

• igneous rocks that form from cooling magma BELOW Earth's surface
• igneous rocks that form from the cooling of lava ON Earth's surface
• type of rock formed from cooled magma or lava
• type of rock created through heat and pressure below Earth's surface

extrusive igneous rock

• igneous rocks that form from cooling magma BELOW Earth's surface
• type of rock formed from cooled magma or lava
• type of rock created through heat and pressure below Earth's surface
• igneous rocks that form from the cooling of lava ON Earth's surface

limestone

• a white, metamorphic rock formed from limestone
• a type of sedimentary rock that sometimes has fossils
• the only type of rock that can have fossils
• a gray, extrusive igneous rock that usually has holes
