Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Igneous rocks can form intrusive, extrusive and volcanic rocks. Intrusive rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface. Extrusive rocks form when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface. Volcanic is another term for extrusive.
  2. Sediments form sedimentary rock by the process of compaction and cementation. Compaction squeezes sediments together and cementation binds them with minerals.
  3. Sediments form from the process of weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces and erosion transports them.
  4. Sedimentary rocks can form clastic, chemical and organic - rich rocks. Clastic are made of fragments of other rocks, chemical form from dissolved minerals, and organic - rich from plant and animal remains.
  5. The process that changes igneous rock into metamorphic rock is metamorphism. This occurs under high pressure and high temperature conditions.

Answer:

  1. Intrusive, Extrusive, Volcanic
  2. Sedimentary rock, Compaction, Cementation
  3. Weathering and Erosion
  4. Clastic, Chemical, Organic - rich
  5. Metamorphism
