(click on the blanks for a word bank option) Igneous Rocks comes from the Greek word for fire and form 2 different ways. Both ways involve hot, Molten rock that crystallizes and solidifies.When the magma cools and forms on the surface they are known as Extrusive igneous rocks, this type of igneous rock form along plate boundaries or where volcanoes have erupted in the form of lava flows and ash. This relatively quick cooling results in very fine-grained or glassy textures because the mineral crystals don't have much time to grow. When hot gas bubbles get trapped in the quenched lava a bubbly or vesicular texture is the result.When the magma cools deep inside the crust they are known as Intrusive igneous rocks.These type of rocks tend to have a course grained texture because the mineral grains have a very long time to grow.

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or a combination of these factors. The process of metamorphism transforms rocks into denser, more compact rocks Where conditions are found for Metamorphic rocks to form deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet.

Sedimentary Rocks are produced by the action of weathering and erosion that break down pre-existing rocks by physical and chemical processes. Sediment is the stuff that is transported by wind, water or ice to a site of deposition. Sedimentary rocks often have distinctive layering. Common sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale(in the order they are in the passage). Sedimentary rocks often start as sediments carried in rivers and deposited in lakes and oceans. When buried, the sediments lose water, become compacted and cemented to form rock.( must be in the order they are in the passage or they will be marked wrong)
