True or false: Sedimentary rocks need hot temperatures to form. Explain.
FALSE! Sedimentary rocks form in relatively low temperates when rocks and minerals are pushed together. They are not melted together.

The word Igneous comes from the Latin word ignis, which means fire. Why do you think scientists named this kind of rock the way they did.
Igneous rocks are formed from hardened lava or magma. Although these things are not fire they share some of the same features that fire has, leading them to name igneous rocks what they did.

explain the difference between sedimentary and igneous rocks
Sedimentary rocks are formed by sediments that stick together, and igneous rocks are formed from lava and magma that has hardened
