If the rock melts
again, it will
become an

again.

Heat, pressure, and chemical changes
push sedimentary rock into a new
form
1. Which major type of rock ~ igneous, sedimentary or
metamorphic ~ forms from magma that cools and
hardens?
2. Which major type of rock is composed of cemented
fragments of rocks or minerals
3. Which major type of rock forms from other rocks as a
result of intense heat, pressure or chemical processes?
4. What is the rock cycle?
5. Does every rock go through the complete rock cycle?
Give one example
6. The sedimentary rock limestone is changed into marble,
which is a metamorphic rock. Name the three processes
that cause this change.
