Rock that forms when pressure, temperature, or chemical processes change existing rock.

This rock was formed by lots of fossils that settled on top of each other over time. What type of rock is this?

This rock cooled on the outside of a volcano and contained air bubbles when it was forming. It is light in color.  This rock is _?_.

This rock started as molten magma but it cooled rapidly not allowing crystals to form.

This rock was another type of rock that was heated and compressed over time. What type of rock is this?

This rock was formed by smaller pieces of rock that settled at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago. The pieces became cemented together.  This rock is  _?_.
