Igneous Rock
How is Igneous Rock Formed
The cooling of magma
How are sedimentary rocks formed
Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
How are metamorphic rocks formed
when rocks are subjected to high heat and pressure
what powers earths rock cycle
earths internal heat engine
Example of Igneous Rock
Granite
What kind of rock can become sedimentary
