Rock & Rock Cycle

The series of changes that rocks undergo

• texture

• composition

• the rock cycle

• metamorphic

rocks that form from cooled magma or lava

• sedimentary

• igneous

• metamorphic

• molten rock

rock that forms from rock sediments that are pressed tightly and cemented together

• sedimentary

• igneous

• metamorphic

• molten rock

rocks that have changed due to heat and/or pressure

• sedimentary

• igenous

• metamorphic

• molten rock

forms as magma slowly cools inside the Earth allowing for large crystal growth

• intrusive igneous rock

• extrusive igneous rock

forms when lava cools quickly above the Earth's surface ; does not allow for much crystal growth

• intrusive igneous rock

• extrusive igneous rock

small grains and fragments of weathered rock

• strata

• mineral

• texture

• sediments

This rock formed when bits of other rocks became pressed into a solid. What type of rock is it?

• Sedimentary Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Igneous Rock
