sediments are melted then cooled

magma is compacted and compressed

ANY rock can become a new igneous rock when ________.

sediments are melted then cooled

sediments are compacted and compressed

magma is compacted and compressed

weathering and erosion, energy from the sun

melting and cooling, energy from the sun

melting and cooling, energy from the interior of the Earth

weathering and erosion, energy from the interior of the Earth

Two rocks formed at the same time. One was made from magma that cooled and the other was made from sediments that were compacted and cemented. The rocks are _______.

Different because they formed in different ways.

Different because they formed in different places.

The same because they formed at the same time.

The same because they are both made of rock material.

How can energy play a role in forming different types of rock?

Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. Energy inside Earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rock to weather into small pieces of rock.

Energy causes different types of rock to change in different ways. Energy changes igneous rock into liquid rock and changes sedimentary rock into small pieces of rock.

Energy caused one rock type to form, but not the other. Rock that forms because of energy is a different type of rock than rock that forms without energy.

Energy changes rock on different continents in different ways. Each continent on Earth has different rock that might form liquid rock or small rock pieces when exposed to energy.

How can an igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?

Yes, if igneous rock is moved to Earth’s surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.

No, sedimentary rock can only form out of material from other sedimentary rock. There is no way that sedimentary rock can form from material in igneous rock.

No, sedimentary rock forms at Earth’s surface because energy from the sun causes rock to weather, but igneous rock under Earth’s outer layer is not exposed to energy from the sun.

Yes, energy from Earth’s interior can cause igneous rock to break into small rock pieces that can form sedimentary rock.

Can a sedimentary rock ever become an igneous rock?

Yes, if sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

Yes, if sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from the sun at Earth’s surface for a long enough time, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

No, igneous rock forms under Earth’s outer layer due to energy from Earth’s interior, but sedimentary rock is only at Earth’s surface.

No, igneous rock can only form out of other igneous rocks. Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.

You find an igenous rock in your back yard. Is it possible that material from this rock formation could ever form sedimentary rock on Earth’s surface?

Yes, if igneous rock is moved to Earth’s surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.

No, sedimentary rock can only form out of material from other sedimentary rock. There is no way that sedimentary rock can form from material in igneous rock.

No, sedimentary rock forms at Earth’s surface because energy from the sun causes rock to weather, but igneous rock under Earth’s outer layer is not exposed to energy from the sun.

Yes, energy from Earth’s interior can cause igneous rock to break into small rock pieces that can form sedimentary rock.

You observe two rocks. Rock 1 is from Arizona and Rock 2 is from Kentucky. Rock 1: Formed from liquid rock. Rock 2: Formed from small pieces of rock Rocks 1 and 2: Formed at about the same time. The rocks are _____________.

Different because they formed in different ways.

The same because they formed at about the same time.

Different because they were formed in different places.

The same because they both formed from rock material.

On the island of Hawaii, Keanu notices that the sand on the beach is black, the same color as the rock formations on the island. Keanu realizes the sand used to be part of the rock formations. How did material from the rock formations turn into sand?

Wind and rain weathered the rock, breaking it into small pieces.

Rays from the sun shone down on the rock, and zapped it into pieces.

People kicked the rocks and broke it up
