Rocks and Mineral Review

The process by which sediment is moved from one place to another.   Can be caused by water, wind, ice, and gravity.

• Rock Cycle
• Uplift
• Deposition
• Erosion

This rock was formed by smaller pieces of rock that settled at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

This rock was molten lava that cooled quickly as it came out of a volcano. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

When granite is subjected to high enough amounts of heat and pressure to change it but NOT melt it, granite changes into -

• an igneous rock
• a sedimentary rock
• a metamorphic rock
• sediments

Granite is an Intrusive rock that -

• formed IN the ground, slow cool had time to make crystals

• formed OUT of the ground, Fast cool, fine crystals

• formed when water evaporate

• formed of once living animals or plants

what process breaks down rocks into sediments?

• weathering and erosion
• deposition
• compaction
• cementation

Igneous rock that forms when magma hardens beneath Earth's surface

• intrusive

• Extrusive

• Organic

• Clastic

A type of rock that forms from the cooling of molten rock at or below the surface of the earth

• Igneous Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• chemical Rock

what rock type does weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation form?
