Igneous
What are three examples of igneous rocks?
Granite, Obsidian, Pumice, and Basalt
tiny pieces of rock, sand, shells, etc. is called what
Sediment
Metamorphic rocks are formed due to _______ and _______.
Heat and Pressure
When sediments go under compacting and cementing processes they become which type of rock.
Sedimentary rocks.
This is molten rock found below the earth's surface.
Magma
What is a characteristic of an igneous rock?
crystalline or glassy texture, vesicular (has air bubbles), grainy texture
List 3 characteristics of sedimentary rocks.
crumbly, layered, porous, may contain fossils
True of False- Metamorphic rocks can change in size and shape.
True- due to intense heat and pressure
What type of rock is affected most by weathering?

True or False: Igneous Rocks can change into metamorphic rocks.
True
True or False: A sedimentary rock can change during the rock cycle process.
True- the cycle is continuous
Minerals can be added or taken away due to heat and pressure transformation. True or False
True
True or false: The rock cycle is not continuous.
False
Igneous rocks can be found
A. On the Earth's surface
B. Underneath the earth's surface
C. Both A and B are correct
C. Both A and B are correct
What are three examples of sedimentary rock?
Sandstone, Limestone, and Shale
How do metamorphic rocks get to earth's surface?
Earthquakes or they are re melted and the molten rock is brought up to Earth's surface through volcanic eruptions.
_________ and ____________ turn sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.
Heat and pressure
This breaks down rock into smaller pieces
Weathering
True or False: Igneous rocks are formed when sediments break apart.
False
Can sedimentary rocks be broken down and change form?
Yes, through weathering and erosion
Which experiment represents a Metamorphic Rock?

B. Melting chocolate and allowing it to cool
C. Breaking the pieces into smaller particles
A. Using an iron, and applying pressure
True or false: Any type of rock can become any other type of rock.
True
If a rock gets water in it and that water freezes and cracks the rock, this is known as
a. Porosity
b. Weathering
c. Erosion
B. Weathering
