Each of the 3 types of rocks can transform into one another.
List the 3 types of rocks.
In 3 words, describe the process that forms each type of rock.
The three types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten lava or magma. The three words to describe this process are: melting, cooling, solidification.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments over time. The three words to describe this process are: weathering, erosion, deposition.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and pressure. The three words to describe this process are: heat, pressure, recrystallization.
