Rock Cycle and Types of Rocks

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• Sedimentary rocks are formed from the metamorphism of existing rocks

• Sedimentary rocks are formed from volcanic activity

• Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments over time.

• Sedimentary rocks are formed from the cooling of magma

What are the two main processes involved in the formation of igneous rocks?

• Cooling and solidification

• Metamorphism and foliation

• Deposition and compaction

• Erosion and weathering

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Metamorphism
