The Rock Cycle Review

Igneous Rocks

• Volcanic or extrusive rock, like basalt, formed from a lava that cooled on Earth's surface, allowing small crystals to form; fine-grained texture

• Plutonic or intrusive rock, like granite, formed from a magma that cooled below Earth's surface, allowing large crystals to form; coarse-grained texture

Multiple Choice

• intrusive igneous rock

• lava

• magma

Multiple Select

Choose the physical properties of igneous rocks.

• Igneous Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

Multiple Choice

Igneous Rocks that form as magma cools underground  are classified as

• Extrusive Rocks
• Intrusive Rocks 

Multiple Choice

A sedimentary rock is subducted and melted into magma. The magma cools underground. It is now

• a metamorphic rock.

• an intrusive igneous rock.

• a sedimentary rock.

• an extrusive igneous rock.

Multiple Choice

Rock formed from the cooling of molten rock below Earth’s surface (ex. granite)

• extrusive igneous rock

• intrusive igneous rock

• lava

• magma

La meteorización descompone las rocas en sedimentos y la erosión se lleva los sedimentos.

​

Weathering breaks down rocks into sediment, and erosion carries the sediments away.

​

Sedimentary rocks form from compacting and cementing of sediments.

Las rocas sedimentarias se forman por la compactación y cementación de sedimentos.

​

Multiple Choice

• lithification

Multiple Choice

Which of the following processes is one of the first steps in the formation of some sedimentary rock?

• Rock is broken down into pieces.

• weathering

• erosion

• deposition

• lithification

Multiple Select

Choose 2 physical properties of sedimentary rocks.

• visible, straight layers

• may contain fossils

• layers like ribbons (swirly)

• crystals

Multiple Choice

A metamorphic rock is weathered and eroded. The sediments are lithified and compacted. It is now

• a metamorphic rock.

• an intrusive igneous rock.

• a sedimentary rock.

• an extrusive igneous rock.

Heat and pressure changes existing rocks.
