• a Sedimentary Rock

• Sediments

• an Igneous Rock

When sediments are compacted and cemented together, they will become:

• a Metamorphic Rock

• a Sedimentary Rock

• Sediments

• an Igneous Rock

If a Metamorphic rock were to melt and then solidify, what type of rock would it become?

• a Metamorphic Rock

• a Sedimentary Rock

• Sediments

• an Igneous Rock

If an Igneous rock was pushed deeper into the Earth where there is greater heat and pressure, what type of rock would it become?

• a Metamorphic Rock

• a Sedimentary Rock

• Sediments

• an Igneous Rock

The diagram represents geological processes that act continuously on Earth to form different rock types.
