Multiple Choice

Which is the first step of sedimentary rock formation?

• A river carries sediment away from its original location.

• Upper layers produce pressure that squeezes lower layers of sediment.

• Water is squeezed out from in between sediment particles, cementing them together

• Rock is weathered, producing sediment.

• Sediment is deposited in flat layers at the bottom of a lake

Multiple Choice

Which is the second step of sedimentary rock formation?

• A river carries sediment away from its original location.

• Upper layers produce pressure that squeezes lower layers of sediment.

• Water is squeezed out from in between sediment particles, cementing them together

• Rock is weathered, producing sediment.

• Sediment is deposited in flat layers at the bottom of a lake

Multiple Choice

Which is the third step of sedimentary rock formation?

• A river carries sediment away from its original location.

Which is the fourth step of sedimentary rock formation?

• A river carries sediment away from its original location.

• Upper layers produce pressure that squeezes lower layers of sediment.

• Water is squeezed out from in between sediment particles, cementing them together

• Rock is weathered, producing sediment.

• Sediment is deposited in flat layers at the bottom of a lake

Multiple Choice

Which is the last step of sedimentary rock formation?

• A river carries sediment away from its original location.

• Upper layers produce pressure that squeezes lower layers of sediment.

• Water is squeezed out from in between sediment particles, cementing them together

• Sediment is deposited in flat layers at the bottom of a lake

Multiple Select

Select the 2 conditions that can lead to the formation of metamorphic rock from sedimentary rock.

• River water flowing over the rock, wearing it away.

• Pressure from the weight up upper layers.

• Sedimentary rock melting into magma

• Heat from a nearby magma mass transfers heat energy.
