What happens to metamorphic rock under extreme heat and pressure?

• It becomes igneous rock

• It turns into sedimentary rock

• It forms into granite

• It disintegrates into sand

What can igneous rock transform into through heat and pressure?

• Mineral Layers

• Sedimentary Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Crystal Formations

Which example is NOT a type of sedimentary rock?

• Limestone

• Shale

• Granite

• Marble

What should students do after writing their notes on the rock cycle?

• Color and shade them

• Discuss with a peer
