Rocks & Minerals

$100Rock formed from cooled magma or lava is this type.
igneous rock
$200Rock formed from compacted sediments is this type.
sedimentary rock
$300Rock changed by heat and pressure is this type.
metamorphic rock
$400The continuous processes that transform rocks among types make up this.
the rock cycle
