Igneous rocks are formed from solidified

magma or lava. If the rate of cooling is slower,
the crystals are bigger. Metamorphic rocks are
formed when rocks are at a high temperature
and high pressure. Sedimentary rocks form

Plenary:

1. Describe how an igneous rock may

become a sedimentary rock, which in
turn may become a metamorphic
rock. Explain what must happen for
