Multiple Choice

Going off of the definition of what a rock is, would ice be considered a rock?

• Yes

• No

Multiple Choice

The Rock Cycle

• is a continious process

• Starts with liquid and ends with a solid

• has a definitive end and beginning

• is not proven or observable

Multiple Choice

Melted the rock below the earth is called:

• Lava

• Magma

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

​the process of atoms or molecules arranging into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice in order to minimize their energetic state​

Multiple Choice

Crystallization is the

• ​The process of atoms or molecules arranging into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice in order to minimize their energetic state

• ​The process of atoms or molecules melting into a loose , liquid, lattice in order to minimize their energetic state

• The process of atoms expanding into large, cubic shapes to enhance electron structures.

Drag and Drop

​

Placeholder

- is a process that squeezes or compacts sediments together

​

Placeholder

- takes place when dissolved minerals are deposited in the tiny spaces among the sediments

​

Placeholder

- Any process that break rocks into sediments

​

Placeholder

- The removal of weathered rocks

​

Placeholder

- when an agent of erosion (water, wind, ice, or gravity) loses energy, it drops the sediment
