• yes

• no

• Sometimes

• not enough information is given

What process takes place to turn or change a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?

• cooling and hardening

• compaction and cementation

• heat and pressure

• pressing and gluing

What type of rock forms after another rock has melted deep within the earth and cooled?

• igneous

• sedimentary

• metamorphic

• none of the above

How are rocks classified?

• by how they look

• by how they were made or formed

• by how they feel

• by the streak test

How are metamorphic rocks formed?

• by heat and pressure

• by subduction

• by volcanoes

• by years of sediment compacting

How are igneous rocks formed?

• by heat and pressure

• by deposition

• by volcanoes

• by sediment compacting together

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• by heat and press

• by erosion

• by volcanoes

• by years of sediment compacting
