Rocks and Earth Processes

Igneous rocks form from cooled molten material, sedimentary rocks from deposited/compacted sediments, and metamorphic rocks from existing rock altered by heat and pressure.

What to remember

  • Igneous rocks cool from molten material.
  • Sedimentary rocks can form from compacted sediments.
  • Metamorphic rocks are changed by heat and pressure.
  • Weathering breaks rock down.
  • Erosion moves weathered material.

Key words

igneous — rock from cooled molten material
sedimentary — rock from sediments
metamorphic — rock altered by heat/pressure
weathering — breakdown of rock
erosion — movement of material
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.
