Explanation:

This is a geology (Natural Science - Earth/Geology related) worksheet about rock types. We use the word bank and descriptions to fill in the blanks:

1. The top main category is for rocks from volcanic material: Igneous Rocks

• Subcategory 1: Cooled lava above ground: Extrusive Igneous Rock
• Subcategory 2: Cooled magma below ground: Intrusive Igneous Rock

1. The middle main category is for rocks from compacted sediments: Sedimentary Rocks

• Subcategory 1: Compacted fragments/particles: Clastic Sedimentary Rock
• Subcategory 2: Contains plant/animal remains: Organic Sedimentary Rock
• Subcategory 3: Forms when water evaporates, salt stays: Chemical Sedimentary Rock

1. The bottom main category is for rocks from extreme heat/pressure: Metamorphic Rocks

• Subcategory 1: Has wavy banding: Foliated Metamorphic Rock
• Subcategory 2: No wavy banding: Non-foliated Metamorphic Rock

Answer:
