Rock Cycle Quiz Review

According to the diagram, how does a sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock?

• Weathering and Erosion

• Heat and Pressure

• Compaction and Cementation

• Melting

Analyze the diagram. Which statement is true?

• Pressure alone is responsible for the formation of metamorphic rocks.

• The rock cycle starts with Igneous rocks,

• The rock cycle is driven by several processes including weathering/erosion and heat/pressure

• Heat and pressure is responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks.
