Igneous rock is formed from cooling magma. Which process will change igneous rock into sedimentary rock?

• heat and pressure

• melting

• cooling

• weathering and erosion

Lorna decided to study rocks while on vacation in Hawaii. Which type is she most likely to find in Hawaii?

• She will find mainly igneous rock, because Hawaii has and was formed by active volcanoes.

• She will find mainly sedimentary rock, because Hawaii has high winds and ocean currents.

• She will find mainly sedimentary rock, because Hawaii has a large amount of organic plant matter

• . She will find mainly metamorphic rock, because Hawaii always has high temperatures.

Which explanation describes how metamorphic rocks are formed?

• Metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary and igneous rocks change over time under heat and pressure.

• Metamorphic rock is formed when earthquakes shake up the rocks so they are broken into small pieces.

• Metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rocks are broken down over time by wind and rain.

• Metamorphic rock is formed when lava that erupts from a volcano cools in the atmosphere.

Which statement best describes how sedimentary rock is formed?

• Flowing magma cooled quickly, creating many uneven layers

• Extreme pressure melted and formed minerals in uneven layers.

• Layers of mineral deposits were compressed over a long time period.

• Separate layers of lava cooled over time, hardening at different rates
