The process by which metamorphic rocks are formed...

• heat and pressure

• erosion and deposition

• melting and cooling

Rock that forms when pressure and temperature change existing rock.

• Igneous Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Rock Cycle

Cooling & crystalization produce

• igneous rocks

• metamorphic rocks

• sedimentary rocks

Rocks change into different types of rocks in a natural process known as the rock cycle. Within in this cycle, sediments are carried by erosion and left in different areas. What is the process of leaving rock fragments in new areas called?

• weathering

• deposition

• sedimentary rock

• intrusions
