Forms when molten rock cools and become solid

Includes the many ways that rocks form, change, break down, and re-form

Forms as heat and/or pressure causes changes

A naturally formed solid that is usually made up of one or more types of minerals

The most common type of rock on Earth's surface

The process by which heat and pressure changes rocks

Materials that settle out of wind and water

Forms as rock melts

Why do land forms made of igneous rock tend to last longer than those made of sedimentary rock?

Made up of pieces of older rocks that are pressed or cemented together

Molten rock that has cooled beneath Earth's surface

During recrystallization, the bonds between atoms in a mineral are broken and can join

Hot lava pours out of a crack in Earth's surface and cools to form

Minerals in rock near a volcano recrystallize as lava covers the area . The minerals change due to the lava's

Rocks are always

The rock cycle

Limestone can form when water evaporates and leaves behind the minerals that form it. Limestone is a(n)

Winds moved layers of sand along the sides of ancient sand dunes. These sand layers were preserved in rock. This is an example of how sedimentary rock can record nformation about

Rocks are different than minerals because rocks

Your rock sample has parallel bands of minerals that formed under high pressure. Your sample is a(n)
