1 Removing heat energy, or cooling, decreases the motion of molecules. 2  If heat is added to a solid, the molecules can move fast enough to change from a solid to a liquid. ( 3 Melting). 4  If heat is added to a liquid, the molecules can move fast enough to change from a liquid to a gas.
Fossils usually only form in sedimentary rock. Sediments have to accumulate over the organism in order to preserve it. This could be a rapid burial, such as a volcanic eruption or mudslide, it could be sap from a tree oozing over an insect, or simply a slow sediment accumulation on the bottom of a lake.
Examples of this rock type include conglomerate and limestone. Metamorphic. Metamorphic rocks are formed under the surface of the earth from the metamorphosis (change) that occurs due to intense heat and pressure (squeezing).he three main types, or classes, of rock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous and the differences among them have to do with how they are formed. Sedimentary. Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material.
