Activity Page  Sediment is sandy. Color it yellow. It is made when igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks are worn into tiny pieces. Color the erosion arrows pointing to the sediment yellow too. Sedimentary rock is like concrete. Color it brown. It is made when sediments are squeezed and cemented together. Color the compaction arrows pointing to the sedimentary rocks brown too. Sandstone and limestone are examples of sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rock has been changed. Color it purple. It is made when sedimentary or igneous rocks are changed by heat and pressure. Color all the heat and pressure arrows pointing to the metamorphic rock purple too. Quartzite and marble are examples of metamorphic rock. Magma is liquid rock. Color it red. It is formed when igneous or metamorphic rocks get so hot that they melt. Color all the melting arrows pointing to the magma red too. Igneous rock is cold magma. Color it blue. It is formed when magma gets cool enough to turn back into stone. Color the cooling arrow pointing to the igneous rocks blue too. Obsidian and basalt are examples of igneous rock. |
