• sedimentary

• igneous

• fossil

• metamorphic

When molten rock hardens and solidifies, which type of rock is formed?

• metamorphic

• crystals

• igneous

• sedimentary

What is the name of the process in which igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are converted into one another in stages?

• rock cycle

• erosion cycle

• magma cycle

• tectonic cycle

In the rock cycle an igneous rock forms from

• cooling temperatures

• high pressure and heat

• weathering and erosion

• compacted plant remains

A rock formation in a land area contains fossils. Over time, tremendous heat and pressure change the formation to produce a harder rock formation without fossils. Which change in rock type has occurred in this land area?

• Igneous rock has turned into sedimentary rock.

• Igneous rock has turned into metamorphic rock.

• Sedimentary rock has turned into igneous rock.

• Sedimentary rock has turned into metamorphic rock.
