• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

Which of these actions must take place in order for igneous rock to change into sedimentary rock ?

• The igneous rock melted and became magma.

• The igneous rock broke down into smaller pieces and then was eroded and deposited to form sedimentary rock.

• The igneous rock was exposed to extreme heat and pressure.

• Igneous rock dissolved in water to form sedimentary rock.

What has to happen for metamorphic to change into igneous rock?

• Deposition

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Melting and Cooling

What process is used to form sedimentary rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.

• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turn rocks into new rocks.

• Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation

• Magma trapped under the Earth's surface cools and solidifies.
