Sediments Sedimentary

Cooling Magma Igneous

High temperatures and/or heat within the earth Metamorphic

Crumbles easily and is often lighter than other rock types Sedimentary

Surface can be as smooth as glass. Igneous

True or False: Igneous rocks are the only rocks that can turn into sedimentary rocks. False. All rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks

How do igneous and sedimentary rocks change into metamorphic rocks? Through heat and pressure from the earth

Explain how an existing rock can change into a sedimentary rock. Rock needs to erode and then be deposited in sediments

Explain how an existing rock can change into an igneous rock. The rock needs to melt into magma and then cool
