Which of the following events can cause igneous rock to form?

• Rock trapped in a convergent boundary melts. When it eventually rises, it cools and crystallizes.

• Rock deep within a mountain is subjected to heat and pressure, causing the rock to change forms - but not melt.

• A layer of sediment in a river flood plain is eventually compacted and cemented together over time.

• Rain in the mountains slowly causes solid rock to break down into small pieces of sediment which flow down the mountain through rivers draining out to the ocean

Which of the following would cause rock to change into sediment?

• Desert winds create a sandstorm. The fast moving pieces of sand strike the desert rocks and break off small pieces carried away by the wind.

• A nearby volcanic intrusion of magma heats up surrounding rock causing it to change, but not melt.

• Mud is deposited on a river floodplain. Over time, the mud is dried, compacted, and cemented together.

• Rock is subducted into the mantle and melts into magma.

Which of the following describes a process happening in the mantle?

• Warmer, less dense rock rises, cools, becomes denser, and sinks back down.

• Liquid iron-nickel rotates faster than the center of the Earth generating a magnetic field.

• Radioactive decay generating massive amounts of heat which works its way out towards Earth's surface.

• Tremendous pressure forces super hot iron-nickel to stay in the solid phase.
