Three statements are given for the three different types of rocks. Match each set of statements with the appropriate rock type. 1. These are the crushed and squeezed rocks that change their form and originate deep within the earth. Sedimentary rocks 2. These are the hot, melted rocks which originate in the upper layer of the earth's interior. Metamorphic rocks 3. These are the cool, wet rocks which are often accompanied by organic matter. Igneous rocks

1. Rocks that change their form because of heat and pressure are called metamorphic rocks. These are the crushed and squeezed rocks that change their form and originate deep within the earth. Examples: Slate, marble, schist. 2. Rocks that formed because of cooling and solidification of magma are called igneous rocks. These are the hot, melted rocks which originate in the upper layer of the earth's interior. Examples: Granite, basalt, pumice. 3. Rocks that are formed when sediments are deposited as layers on earth's surface or within large water bodies are called sedimentary rocks. These are the cool, wet rocks which are often accompanied by organic matter. Examples: Shale, limestone, breccia. 1.
