How is sediment formed?

• energy from the sun melts rock

• energy from inside the earth breaks rocks apart

• energy from the sun results in weathering and erosion of existing rock

• energy from inside the earth causes earthquakes that break apart rocks

Can materials from sedimentary rock become igneous rock?

• yes, if energy from the sun melts it

• yes, if the rock is moved below Earth's surface and Earth's interior energy melts it

• no, igneous rock is formed from magma and sedimentary rock is formed from sediment

• no, igneous rock forms below Earth's surface, sedimentary forms on Earth's surface

Can materials from igneous rock become sedimentary rock?

• yes, if energy from the sun melts it

• yes, if it is moved to the surface and energy from the sun weathers the rock, it can eventually form sedimentary rock

• no, igneous rock is formed from magma and sedimentary rock is formed from sediment

• no, igneous rock forms below Earth's surface, sedimentary forms on Earth's surface
