Rock Cycle Landforms Weather Erosion

How could the acid in decaying leaves affect the rocks in the soil underneath them?

• Increase the amount of physical weathering

• Decrease the amount of physical weathering

• Increase the amount of chemical weathering

• Decrease the amount of chemical weathering

Why can limestone look rough due to birds and water in Florida?

• Erosion by birds and water

• Physical weathering by ice

• Chemical weathering and erosion by birds

• Chemical and physical weathering by water

What type of rock looks cemented or glued?

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentray

• Intrusive

What kind of rock forms an island form a volcano?

• Igneous rock from liquid magma cooling

• Igneous rock formed from sediments from volcano eruptions

• Metamorphic rock formed from sediments from volcano eruptions

• Metamorphic rock formed when liquid magma crates high temperatures and pressures on Earth's surface

What type of rock is formed from rock, sand, and minerals that are transformed with heat and high pressure

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

• Extrusive

• Igneous

What is the order of processes in sedimentary rock formation?

• Erosion, weathering, compaction, cementation, and deposition

• Compaction, cementation, deposition, weathering, and erosion

• Deposition, cementation, compaction, erosion, and weathering

• Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, andd cementation

Difference between mechanical and chemical weathering

• Length of time to break a rock

• Each occurs only in certain parts of the world

• The way the composition of a rock is affected

• Only chemical weathering involves water

How is sedimentary rock transformed into metamorphic rock

• High pressure and temperature

• Low pressure and temperature

• Weathering and erosion

• Cooling and Hardening

What causes the deposition of sand at a delta?

• River water slowing as it enters the ocean

• Salt water and fresh water mixing

• Ocean waves transporting sand toward land

• Ocean water slowing as it reachers the coast

Particles in sedimentary rocks are broken down by

• Heat and pressure

• Melting and cooling

• Erosion and weathering

• Compacting and cementing
