Earth's History and the Rock Cycle Lesson

How are metamorphic rocks created?

• Cooling and crystallizing as it moves away from the core

• Formed from pieces of other rock

• None of these options are correct.

• Heat and pressure as they move toward the core

_______ rock forms from magma/lava

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

When rocks are deeply buried, placing them under pressure because of the weight of overlying layers, this is called:

• lithification

• cementation

• deposition

• compaction
