Answer the following briefly and concisely. Write your answer in your answer sheet.
1. Complete the table below by filling in the boxes about the three major types of rocks, the
process of how each type of rock form, their characteristics and classifications.

 2. Summary of the steps of Rock Cycle

 The rock cycle is the process by which rocks of one kind change into rocks of another
kind.
There are three main kinds of rocks: igneous rock, metamorphic rock,
and sedimentary rock. Each of these rocks can change into the other kinds by
physical processes: cooling, melting, heat, weathering/erosion, compacting
(squeezing tightly together), cementing, and pressure.
When heated deep under ground, rocks become magma (liquid rock). Above ground,
it is called lava. Sediment, the particles from rock erosion and weathering, is the
basis for sedimentary rock of the future.
