Rock Cycle

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

A rock that forms from many small fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

• extrusive rock

What kind of igneous rock usually contains large crystals?

• inorganic

• extrusive

• organic

• intrusive

Which rock cycle process causes many sedimentary rocks to have visible layers?

• eruption

• intrusion

• crystallization

• deposition

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
