Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Three Types of Rock worksheet

▼

- Sedimentary rock is made up of small pieces of other rocks, minerals, or organic material (like shells or bones) that have been weathered, eroded, transported, deposited, and then compacted and cemented together over time.
- Metamorphic rock is made up of existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) that have been changed by intense heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids deep within the Earth, causing their mineral composition and texture to transform without melting.
- Igneous rock is made up of cooled and solidified magma (below ground) or lava (on the surface), which crystallizes as it cools to form new rock.
