True- the cycle is continuous 

400

What are three examples of sedimentary rock?

Sandstone, Limestone, and Shale

500

Can sedimentary rocks be broken down and change form? 

Yes, through weathering and erosion

Metamorphic

100

Metamorphic rocks are formed due to _______ and _______. 

Heat and Pressure 

200

True of False- Metamorphic rocks can change in size and shape.  

True- due to intense heat and pressure

300

Minerals can be added or taken away due to heat and pressure transformation. True or False 

True 

400

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.
