What are the three types of rocks?

• Marble rocks, sandstone rocks, and shale rocks

• Granite rocks, limestone rocks, and basalt rocks

• Metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks, and volcanic rocks

• Igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks

What forms igneous rocks?

• Extreme temperature and pressure

• Compaction and cementation

• Weathering of all types of rocks

• Melting and crystallization of magma

What process creates sedimentary rocks?

• Weathering and erosion

• Melting and crystallization

• Extreme temperature and pressure

• Compaction and cementation

What is the process called when rocks undergo physical and chemical changes due to extreme temperature and pressure?

• Metamorphosis

• Erosion

• Crystallization

• Weathering

What type of rocks are formed when sedimentary and igneous rocks undergo metamorphosis?

• Volcanic rocks

• Metamorphic rocks

• Sedimentary rocks

• Igneous rocks

What are the two types of igneous rocks?

• Intrusive igneous rocks and extrusive igneous rocks

• Marble rocks and sandstone rocks

• Granite rocks and basalt rocks

• Shale rocks and limestone rocks

What happens to sedimentary and igneous rocks under high temperature and pressure?

• They undergo metamorphosis

• They compact and cement

• They melt and crystallize

• They weather and erode

What are low-grade metamorphic rocks?

• Rocks that still appear very similar to the parent rock

• Rocks that have changed so much that they look very different from the parent rock

• Rocks that have been weathered and eroded

• Rocks that have melted and crystallized

What type of rocks are formed when metamorphic rocks melt again?

• Volcanic rocks

• Metamorphic rocks

• Sedimentary rocks

• Igneous rocks
