Two students are discussing the processes that form the different rocks near mountains and lakes. Which choice below compares the formation of rocks at these locations?

Metamorphic rock is formed by pressure and heat of tectonic plates is then pushed up as mountains form. Rivers deliver weathered rocks into lake beds forming sedimentary rock as more layers are added.

Mountains push weathered rocks underneath tectonic plates to form sedimentary rocks inside the mantle. Rivers erode igneous rocks over time to form metamorphic rock.

Sedimentary rock is formed from the heat and pressure in between tectonic plates to form mountains. Rivers deliver weathered rock to lake beds and form igneous rock over long periods of time.

Igneous rock is formed by volcanoes releasing magma from the mantle, the rock cools and piles up forming a mountain. Rivers direct water to cool magma underground forming metamorphic rock under lake beds.

Which of the following options best identifies the benefits and limitations of the model?

The model includes types of rocks but does not give a visual representation of the rocks.

The model includes a path of formation but can be confusing to read.

The model includes what is needed for rocks to form but not their source.

The model includes the effects of temperature on rocks and a volcanic eruption.

Which of the following events must occur at point 6 in order to transform sedimentary rock into igneous rock?

Tectonic plates push against each other, driving sedimentary rock under Earth's surface, where it melts into magma and turns into igneous rock as it cools.

Shifting tectonic plates push the sedimentary rock toward the poles, where it freezes and hardens into igneous rock.

Extreme winds and storms weather the sedimentary rock into particles, which collect in rivers and are compacted into igneous rock.

Rising oceans erode mountains of sedimentary rock into particles, which sink and get compacted into layers that form igneous rock.

What conclusion can be drawn about the rocks at label X?

They will cool and crystalize to become igneous rock.

They will heat and form an igneous rock.

They will continue to heat and form metamorphic rock.

They will sink into the crust and form metamorphic rock.

The difference between mechanical and chemical weathering

the way they affect the composition of a rock

the length of time each takes to break up a rock

that each occurs only in certain parts of the world

that only chemical weathering involves water

All of the following conditions in Earth can cause metamorphic rocks to form EXCEPT ____.

the presence of hot, watery fluids

Sedimentary rocks are ____.

formed when loose materials become pressed or cemented together or when minerals form from solutions

a type of foliated igneous rock

formed because of changes in temperature and pressure, or the presence of hot watery fluids

Which of the tectonic forces best explains how each type of rock is formed.

extreme temperature and pressure/ Metamorphic rock

weathering and erosion/ Sedimentary rock
