What are the traits of a metamorphic rock?

• There are many layers of sediment in the rock.

• The rock is transformed by heat and pressure.

• The rock often has layer upon layer compacted together.

• Hot lava that cools can form this type of rock.

Lava cools to form:

• sandstone

• metamorphic rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

rock formed from the deposition, compaction, and cementation of sediment

• intrusive igneous rock

• extrusive igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

This is the type of rock that forms from sediment that gets cemented or pressed together under pressure.

• Igneous rock

• Sedimentary rock

• Metamorphic rock

• Rock Cycle

How would you classify the rock in the picture?

• Organic
• Clastic
• Intrusive
• Extrusive

This rock was found near the mouth of a volcano. What type of rock is this?
