Question

A type of rock that forms when deposited rock builds up in layers. A metamorphic rock formed from limestone. Rocks are pushed upwards by the immense pressure below them. A type of rock formed from eruptions of magma. The process by which rocks gradually wear down. A gas that is formed when fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is burned. A rock made up of large crystals. A metamorphic rock that is made of crystals arranged in layers. The final process in the formation of sedimentary rocks. The molten rock beneath the Earth. Broken pieces of rock are moved away from where they were weathered. When a rock gets hot it. A type of sedimentary rock When molten magma cools quickly, small is formed. Rocks that are formed due to high heat and pressure. A type of rock made up of the mineral calcium carbonate. Plant and animal remains that were trapped in sediments. When the pressure from the sediments on top compress the sediments at the bottom. A flowing river pieces of broken rock. Igneous rocks that form underground are known as.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rocks are formed on Earth as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form when rocks are heated to the melting point which forms magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the cementing together of sediments, or from the compaction (squeezing together) of sediments, or from the recrystallization of new mineral grains which are larger than the original crystals. Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure changing the original or parent rock into a completely new rock. The parent rock can be either sedimentary, igneous, or even another metamorphic rock. The word "metamorphic" comes from Greek and means "To Change Form".
