Igneous Rock . Igneous rocks form . when molten rock cools and solidifies. . Molten rock is called magma when it is below the Earth’s surface and lava when it is above.. when molten rock cools and solidifies. Metamorphism. Metamorphic rocks: appear to have changed in their structure or chemical composition since their creation or formation.. Originally sedimentary or igneous. Altered by heat, pressure, or exposure to hot fluids in earth’s crust. Pictured Rocks . National Lakeshore . 1. Presented by. Chris V. Case, Facility Manager. Pictured Rocks Natl. Lakeshore Environmental Leadership. Why is being environmentally responsible so important?. Mineral and Rock Vocabulary. Rock. Rock is a solid mixture of crystals of one or more minerals. Rocks are categorized into 3 types on how they are made. Each rock in each category is classified (named) by its TEXTURE and COMPOSITION. Geology 121 Course Notes. Add Section Title.
