This is the process that occurs when igneous rock forms from SLOW magma (inside volcano) cooling.

• intrusive

• extrusive

• mineral

• transpiration

This is formed when a parent rock is subjected to heat and pressure. It is relatively hard and may or may not have layers.

• igneous

• sedimentary

• metamorphic

• mineral

This process occurs when igneous rock forms from FAST lava (outside the volcano) cooling.

• intrusive

• extrusive

• transpiration

• convection current
