Rock Cycle and Weathering/Erosion

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

• Soil

• Magma

• Sediment

• Lava

Which of the following is not a rock

• Pumice
• Lava
• Halite
• Sandstone

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

Rocks that form from cooling magma inside Earth?

• Intrusive Igneous

• Extrusive Igneous

• Metamorphic foliated

• Metamorphic nonfoliated

Any rock that forms from another rock deep below Earth's crust as a result of changes in heat or pressure (or both) is a:

• chemical rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

Which of the following lists the steps an igneous rock undergoes in order to become a sedimentary rock, in the correct order?

• Deposition, erosion, melting, cooling

• Erosion, weathering, eruption, cooling

• Dissolving, deposition, cooling, fracture

• Weathering, erosion, deposition, cementation
