• Igneous Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Volcanic Rock

The process by which metamorphic rocks are formed...

• melting and cooling

• heat and pressure

• weathering and erosion

• crystallization and solidification

Rock that forms when pressure and temperature change existing rock.

• Sedimentary Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Volcanic Rock

This rock was another type of rock that was heated and compressed over time. What type of rock is this?

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic
