Geology Rocks

How many rock types are there?

• Five
• Three
• Ten
• Two

How are igneous rocks formed?

• From the solidification of molten magma and lava

• From the compression of organic materials
• From the cooling of liquid water
• From the erosion and deposition of sedimentary particles

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• Volcanic activity and cooling of magma
• The rocks change when exposed to a lot of heat and pressure

• From the erosion and deposition of sedimentary particles

• Evaporation of seawater and precipitation of minerals

How are metamorphic rocks formed?

• The rocks change when exposed to a lot of heat and pressure

• By the cooling and solidification of molten rock
• Through the process of erosion and sedimentation
• Through the process of evaporation and crystallization

What are the two types of igneous rocks?

• Heat and pressure

• Sedimentary and metamorphic
• Intrusive and extrusive
• Basalt and granite
