Rock Cycle

A rock formed from fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• Extrusive Rock
• Igneous Rock

An igneous rock containing large crystals is most likely a(n)

• Chemical Rock
• Foliated Rock
• Extrusive Rock
• Intrusive Rock

If heat and pressure inside the Earth cause a rock to melt, the material that formed would be

• Metamorphic
• Magma
• Sedimentary
• Igneous

Geologists have classified rocks into three major groups of rocks which are:

• inorganic, organic and chemical rocks

• igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks

• metamorphic, chemical and non chemical rocks

• sedimentary, inorganic and igneous rocks

Any rock that forms from another rock as a result of changes in heat or pressure (or both) is a:

• chemical rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock begins with

• melting

• erosion

• deposition

• crystallization
