Three types of rock are:
$200
sedimentary,
metamorphic,
and igneous
To Game
Board
$300
________ rocks are formed
from magma below the Earth's
surface and lava on the Earth's
surface. The kind of rock that
forms often depends on how fast
the magma or lava cools.
$300
igneous
To Game
Board
$400
With enough heat and pressure,
sedimentary and igneous rocks can be
changed into new rocks, called
_______________ rocks.
(the word means "changed in form“)
$400
metamorphic
To Game
Board
$500
Name and describe the
three types of rocks.
$500
To Game
Board
Over a period of time, layers of sediment are
pressed together to form sedimentary rocks.
When molten rock or magma cools below the
Earth's surface or cools after erupting from a
volcano as lava, igneous rock is formed.
Rocks formed from other types of rocks by
intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth
are called metamorphic rocks.

Describe the rock cycle using
all of the following words:
surface
heat
type
pressure
weathering
erosion
$400
To Game
Board
The Earth's surface is constantly
changing due to heat and
pressure within the Earth and
weathering and erosion at the
surface. These processes
constantly change rock from one
type to another in a cycle.

Rocks on the Earth's surface are
constantly being broken down by
chemical processes, weather,
glaciers and even tree roots.
Rocks are broken into smaller
pieces in a process called:
