Fire
Sediments are deposited in these flat shapes one on top of the other. (hint: a cake has them...)
What are layers
These are the 3 main kinds of rocks.
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
This is how igneous rocks are formed.
When hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
The process that turns any kind of rock into metamorphic rock.
What is heat and pressure
the gradual destruction of rocks due to weathering
What is erosion
rock formed for heating and cooling magma
What is Igneous Rock
These are the two main kinds of igneous rocks. One is under the ocean because it is more dense and the other makes up the land because it is less dense.
Basalt and granite
This hot process is what happens when solid rocks like metamorphic turn back into into magma
What is melting
True or False: Once a rock is formed, it can never ever ever change into a different kind of rock.
False
Rock formed for particles of sand, fossils, sediments, and pebbles
What is sedimentary rock

In Greek, meta mean "change," and morphe means "form." This is what you get when you combine these word origins.
What is metamorphic
These are ancient creatures' fossilized bones that can be found in sedimentary rock.
What are dinosaurs
Rock formed from intense pressure and heat deep in the earth's surface.
What is Metamorphic Rock
This is magma after it gets through the Earth's crust.
lava
Metamorphic rocks has these shapes, which look like layers but are not.
What are bands
This is the process of how sediments get "stuck" together to form sedimentary rocks.
Cementation
Basalt and Granite
