Which statement best describes how this rock was formed?
Flowing magma cooled quickly, creating many uneven layers.
Separate layers of lava cooled over time, hardening at different rates.
Layers of mineral deposits were compressed over a long time period.
Extreme pressure melted and formed minerals in uneven layers.
This picture shows a granite rock that was sculpted into a statue. Granite is often used for decoration and sculpting because the large crystal formations are very beautiful. The large crystals are formed when magma cools slowly. What type of rock is granite?
Metamorphic
Igneous
Marble
Sedimentary
The picture shows a simple model of the rock cycle. What needs to happen at point 5 for igneous rock to transform into metamorphic rock?

Igneous rock needs to be melted into magma and then cooled to form metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock needs to be put under intense heat and pressure to form metamorphic rock
Rocks need to roll and rolls need to be buttered
