Rock Cycle & Earth Layers

Rock that forms when minerals form from solutions or sediment from older rocks get pressed and cemented together.

• Igneous Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Volcanic Rock

What is the crust broken into?

• tectonic plates

• continental shelves

• oceanic ridges

• sedimentary layers

Sedimentary and igneous rocks go through _____________________________ to become metamorphic rocks.

• melting and cooling

• heat and pressure

• weathering and erosion

• solidification and crystallization

Which type of rock is made from magma cooling inside Earth?

• sedimentary

• metamorphic

• igneous

• volcanic
