Types of Rocks

A rock deep within the Earth experiences extreme heat and pressure. After a long period of time it becomes which rock?

• Magma

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

What must happen to a metamorphic rock before it becomes a sedimentary rock?

• It must go through weathering and erosion to become sediment

• It must be melted into magma

• Its minerals must dissolve in water

• It must be exposed to high temperature and pressure

This rock formed when sediments became pressed into a solid through compacting and cementing? What type of rock is it?

• Sedimentary Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Igneous Rock

This rock was found near volcanos, after the magma has cooled and hardened. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

The process when sediments are pressed together tightly.

• Compacting

• Cementing

• Weathering

• Erosion

The process in which sediments are solidified or glued together forming an igneous rock.

• compaction

• deposition

• organic rock

• cementation

This rock was formed when molten rock cooled into a solid. What type of rock is it?

• Igneous Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock

Which type of rock is formed from INTENSE heat and pressure?

• igneous
• sedimentary
• metamorphic

This rock was molten magma that slowly cooled and hardened under the ground. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

Compaction and cementation are two common processes associated with:

• Extrusive igneous rocks

• Intrusive igneous rocks

• Sedimentary rocks

• Metamorphic rocks
