Which type of rock has been formed due to being exposed to extreme heat and pressure?

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

Which type of rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava?

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

Which type of rock is typically formed from the accumulation and compaction of mineral and organic particles?

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

Which process is primarily responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks?

• Melting

• Compaction and cementation

• Metamorphism

Which type of rock can transform into a metamorphic rock under extreme heat and pressure?

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

• Both

Which process is involved in the formation of igneous rocks?

• Crystallization

• Weathering

• Deposition

If molten rock cools on the outside of the earth what type of rock is formed?

• Metamorphic

• Extrusive igneous

• Intrusive igneous

• Sedimentary

Which type of igneous rock has the larger crystals?

• Intrusive igneous rocks- as the crystals have time to grow due to the higher temperatures

• Extrusive igneous rocks- as the crystals form quickly due to the cooler temperatures

Which type of rock is most likely to contain fossils?

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary
