Rock Cycle Weathering Erosion

Rocks and Erosion

By Daniellejo White-Yelito

Multiple Choice

Which processes change magma into igneous rock?

• weathering and erosion
• heat and pressure
• compaction and cementation
• cooling and crystallization

Multiple Choice

What happens to the pressure the further you go down into the Earth's crust and mantle?

• It decreases because there isn't that much rock above to push down (from above)

• It increases because the weight of the rock above presses down

Multiple Choice

When a rock forms from magma slowly cooling UNDERGROUND and has coarse grains, what type of rock is being formed?

• extrusive igneous rock

• intrusive igneous rock

• foliated metamorphic rock

• non-foliated igneous rock

Multiple Choice

Coarse or Fine?

• coarse
• fine

Multiple Choice

This rock started as molten magma but transformed after a volcano erupted. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

Multiple Choice

Rock made of layers of compressed sediments

• metamorphic rock
• igneous rock
• sedimentary rock
• school house rock

Multiple Choice

The breakdown of rock into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water and ice

• erosion
• cementation 
• pressure
• weathering

Multiple Choice

Wind, water, ice and gravity carry sediments away

• weathering
• deposition
• erosion
• cementation

Multiple Choice

The process by which sediments are laid down on the ground or sink to the bottoms of bodies of water is called

• compaction.

• deposition.

• lithification.

• stratification.

Multiple Choice

The physical and chemical processes that transform sediments into sedimentary rocks is called

• compaction.

• deposition.
