The Rock Cycle

Rocks that are made from particles from other rocks and remains of plants and animals

• Sedimentary
• Metamorphic
• Igneous

How would an igneous rock turn into a sedimentary rock? 

• Melting
• Erosion and Weathering
• Heat and Pressure

Wind, water or ice loosen and carry away fragments of rock.

• Deposition
• Erosion
• Cementation
• Compaction

Rock made from existing rock that is changed by heat and pressure.

• Intrusive
• Metamorphic
• Igneous
• Extrusive

Erosion, deposition, __________, cementation make sedimentary rock.

• cystalization
• foliated
• compaction

How would a sedimentary rock turn into a metamorphic rock? 

• erosion and compaction
• heat and pressure
• melting and cooling

Dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together.

• compaction
• cementation
• erosion
• deposition

Process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it.

• erosion
• deposition
• compaction
• cementation

Rock formed by the cooling of molten rock on or beneath the surface.

• no-non-foliated
• igneous
• metamorphic
• extrusive

Where is the force of the sun used in the rock cycle.

• heat and pressure
• weathering and erosion
• melting and cooling
• deposition and compaction
