Front

Two rocks formed at the same time. One was made from magma that cooled and the other was made from sediments that were compacted and cemented. The rocks are _______.

Back

Different because they formed in different ways.

Front

You observe two rocks. Rock 1 is from Arizona and Rock 2 is from Kentucky. Rock 1: Formed from liquid rock. Rock 2: Formed from small pieces of rock Rocks 1 and 2: Formed at about the same time. The rocks are _____________.

Back

Different because they formed in different ways.

Ms. Bayne shows you a rock that Kevin brought to class. It is from California and it formed from liquid rock. She also shows you a rock brought in by Ms. Lammy. That rock has layers and formed from sediments. Both rocks are 1,500,000 years old. The rocks are ______________.

different types because they were formed in different ways.

Front

True or False: If an Igneous rock is exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into sediment and eventually form sedimentary rock.

Back

True

Front

You find an igneous rock in your backyard. Is it possible that material from this rock formation could ever form sedimentary rock on Earth’s surface?

Back

Yes, if igneous rock is moved to Earth’s surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.
