NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

This rock was formed when magma cooled very slowly inside the Earth. What specific type of rock is it?

• Intrusive Igneous Rock

• Extrusive Igneous Rock

• Foliated Metamorphic Rock

• Clastic Sedimentary Rock

This rock formed when lava cooled very quickly on Earth's surface. What specific type of rock is it?

• Extrusive Igneous Rock

• Intrusive Igneous Rock

• Non-Foliated Metamorphic Rock

• Biochemical Sedimentary Rock

This rock was found near the mouth of a volcano. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

This rock started as lava that cooled and solidified. Then it was heated and put under pressure, which changed it chemically. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentar

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

Each rock type can follow only one pathway of the rock cycle.

• True

• False
