ROCK CYCLE

What type of rock results directly from cooled magma?

• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary

Which type of rock forms from extreme heat and pressure?

• Igneous
• Sedimentary
• Organic
• Metamorphic

The process by which water, wind, ice, and changes in temperature break down rock into fragments called sediments.

• Deposition
• Melting/Cooling
• Weathering/Erosion
• Compaction/Cementation

The process by which sediments are transformed into sedimentary rock.

• Deposition
• Melting/Cooling
• Weathering/Erosion
• Compaction/Cementation

The process by which igneous rocks are formed...

• heat and pressure
• melting and cooling
• compaction and cementation

These rocks were broken apart from the expansion of water within rock during cooler temps (night). This is an example of:

• frost wedging
• acid rain
• permeability
• abrasion

What factor commonly triggers mass movements?

• earthquakes
• saturation of surface materials with water
• removal of vegetation
• all are correct

Which of the following weathering processes involves the constant freezing and thawing of water?

• exfoliation
• unloading
• frost wedging
• spheroidal weathering

Which term describes the max amount of material a stream can hold.

• competence
• capacity
• discharge
• load

The dropping off of sediment in a body of water.

• Weathering
• Erosion
• Deposition
