The Rock Cycle

What locations on Earth would create the conditions to form metamorphic rocks?

• subduction zones, near magma, convergent continental boundaries
• hotspots, volcanic eruptions, mid ocean ridges
• oceans, lakes, rivers
• near the surface, areas that have been uplifted, colliding continental plates

What locations on Earth would create the conditions to form igneous rocks?

• subduction zones, near magma, convergent continental boundaries
• hotspots, volcanic eruptions, mid ocean ridges
• oceans, lakes, rivers
• near the surface, areas that have been uplifted, colliding continental plates

What locations on Earth would create the conditions to form sedimentary rocks?

• subduction zones, near magma, convergent continental boundaries
• hotspots, volcanic eruptions, mid ocean ridges
• oceans, lakes, rivers

This rock was formed by lots of fossils that settled on top of each other over time. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• rock cycle

What do you call the process by which natural forces (wind, water, glaciers, gravity, animal activity) moves weathered rock and soil from one place to another.

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition
• cementation

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

• Deposition
• Erosion
• Weathering
• Igneous Rock

Rock that forms when minerals evaporate from solution or sediment from older rocks are compacted and cemented together.

• Sedimentary Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Igneous Rock
• Rock Cycle

Rock that forms when pressure, temperature, or chemical processes change existing rock.

• Igneous Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
