Rock Cycle Review

A rock deep within the Earth experiences extreme heat and pressure. After a long period of time it becomes which rock?

• Magma

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

What is formed by cooling & hardening of lava

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

Formed by compacting/pressure & cementing of sediments

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

This rock type is formed by weathering & erosion and compaction.

• magma

• a beach

How do sedimentary rocks form?

• Lava or magma cools and hardens

• Sand, mud and pebbles settles into layers and get pressure (compaction) and cementing together

• Extreme heat or pressure turn old rocks into new rocks

• Under trampolines
