Rock Cycle

This rock started as molten magma. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

This rock started as another type of rock. It then experienced heat and pressure over time. What type of rock is this now?

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

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

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

Magma cooling & crystalizing produces:

• igneous rocks

• metamorphic rocks

• sedimentary rocks

True or False: Once a rock is sedimentary, it cannot become an igneous rock.

• True

• False

The process when rocks break into smaller pieces due to exposure to natural elements is called:

• erosion

• weathering

• sediments

What are the 3 major types of rocks?

• Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary
• Metamorphic, Igneous, Cementation
• magma, lava, crystals

The process by which igneous rocks are formed...

• heat and pressure

• melting and cooling

• weathering and erosion

The process by which metamorphic rocks are formed...

• heat and pressure

• erosion and deposition

• melting and cooling

What do we call the particles that are left behind when a rock is broken down into smaller pieces?

• texture

• weathering

• sediment

• erosion
