Rocks & Minerals _ Connect

The movement of Earth’s crust will result in the formation of metamorphic rock when –

• heat & pressure

• none

• movement of tectonic plates

• hot magma cools and hardens

What has to occur to change igneous rock into sediments?

• breaking down and movement of rock

• cooling and changing states of matter

• heat and pressure

• cementation and compaction

What rock forms from thermal energy and forces from within the Earth?

• sedimentary

• metamorphic

• heating and cooling

• uplift and erosion

Formation of a metamorphic rock?

• heat and pressure

• erosion and cementation

• melting a cooling

Formation of a sedimentary rock

• heat and pressure

• weathering and erosion then cementation and compaction

• melting and cooling

Formation of an igneous rock

• heat and pressure

• weathering and erosion then cementation and compaction

• melting and cooling

What rocks form horizontal layers?

• metamorphic

• igneous

• sedimentary

Rocks are classified according to ...

• how they are formed

• their shape

• their color

• their minerals

Describe the rock cycle.

• classification system for rocks

• a way to figure out rocks age

• process that changes rocks from one type to another

• process where the air changes the types of rocks

Which statement is true?

• igneous rocks form from heat and pressure

• all rocks are made of minerals

• all rocks can change into other types of rocks

• sedimentary rocks form from melting and cooling of magma
