The Rock Cycle Review

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 form from solutions or sediment from older rocks get pressed and cemented together.

• Sedimentary Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Igneous Rock

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

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

The process by which metamorphic rocks are formed...

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

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

What two processes make sediment?

• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary
• Igneous

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