Types of Rocks

Which type of rock is formed from INTENSE heat and pressure?

• igneous
• sedimentary
• metamorphic

What process is used to form sedimentary rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.
• Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation
• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turn rocks into new rocks.
• Magma trapped under the Earth's surface cools and solidifies.

Extreme Heat and Pressure creates a _________ rock.

• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary
• Mineral

This rock was formed when molten rock cooled into a solid. What type of rock is it?

• Igneous Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock

A never ending process by which rocks are changed from one type to another.  

• weathering and erosion
• rock cycle
• heat and pressure
• pressing and cementing

This rock was molten magma that slowly cooled under the ground. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

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

This rock was formed by smaller pieces of rock that settled at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

1. What will happen if an igneous rock is put under an extreme amount of heat and pressure?

• it will melt into lava
• it will weather and erode
• it will become a metamorphic rock
• it will become a sedimentary 

Fossils are only found in

• Sedimentary rocks
• Foliated Metamorphic rocks
• Igneous Rocks
• Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks
