Front

What type of rock is formed from sediments?

Back

Sedimentary rock is formed from sediments.

Front

What is the impact of time and natural forces on rocks?

Back

Time and natural forces cause rocks to weather and erode.

Front

What are the three major classes of rocks?

Back

The three major classes of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

Erosion is the movement of sediments from place to place.

Front

What is the main difference between sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?

Back

Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments, while metamorphic rocks are formed from heat and pressure.

Front

What is sediment?

Back

Sediment is small pieces of rock, minerals, or organic material that are carried by water, wind, or ice.

Front

How do igneous rocks form?

Back

Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Front

What is weathering?

Back

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces.

Front

What role do natural forces play in the rock cycle?

Back

Natural forces like wind, water, and temperature changes help in the formation, erosion, and transformation of rocks.

Front

What is metamorphism?

Back

Metamorphism is the process by which rocks change due to heat and pressure.
