Rock cycle

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

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

The three groups of rocks are classified by

• How they form
• Color
• Grain size
• Chemical Composition

Fossils are only found in

• Sedimentary rocks
• Foliated Metamorphic rocks
• Igneous Rocks
• Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks

• melting

• compaction

• weathering

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

If heat and pressure inside Earth cause the texture and crystal structure of a rock to change, what new material is formed?

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

• igneous rock

• chemical rock

Cooling & crystalization produce

• igneous rocks
• metamorphic rocks
• sedimentary rocks

• texture
• weathering
• sediment
• erosion
