Magma is make of melting rock; this happens _________.

on the top layer of the Earth's surface

Based on the information are rocks A and B the same or different? Rock A formed from small pieces of rock, Rock B formed from liquid rock in a different place, and Rocks A and B formed at the same time

Different types because they formed in different ways.

The same type because they both formed from rock material

The same type because they formed at the same time

Different types because they formed in different places.

On the island of Hawaii, Paul notices that the sand on the beach is black, the same color as the rock formations on the island. Paul realizes the sand used to be part of the rock formations. How did material from the rock formations turn into sand?

Wind and rain interacted with the rock, breaking it into small pieces.

Rays from the sun shone down on the rock, and it broke into pieces.

If anything were left out for a long time, it would break into small pieces.

The sand was formed by earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters. These disasters were strong enough to break the rock into small pieces.

How can energy play a role in different rock types forming?

Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. Energy inside Earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rock to weather into small pieces of rock.

Energy causes different types of rock to change in different ways. Energy changes igneous rock into liquid rock and changes sedimentary rock into small pieces of rock.

Energy changes rock on different continents in different ways. Each continent on Earth on Earth has different rock that might form liquid rock or small pieces when exposed to energy.

Energy caused one rock type to form, but not the other. Rock that forms because of energy is a different type of rock than rock that forms without energy.

Is it possible for an igneous rock formation underneath Earth's outer layer could turn into a sedimentary rock formation?

Yes, if igneous is moved to Earth's surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.

Yes, energy from Earth's interior can cause igneous rock to break into small rock pieces that form sedimentary rock.

No, sedimentary rock forms at Earth's surface because energy from the sun causes rock to weather, but igneous rock under Earth's outer layer is not exposed to energy from the sun.

No, sedimentary rock can only form out of material from other sedimentary rock. There is no way that sedimentary rock can form from material in igneous rock.

What would happen if a sedimentary rock is first exposed to energy from the sun?

it will turn into an igneous rock

What would happen if a sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from Earth’s interior and then millions of years later to energy from the sun?

Energy from Earth’s interior would cause melting of the rock and turn it into magma . The magma would cool and turn into igneous rock. Then, energy from the sun would cause weathering to turn the rock into sediment .

Energy from Earth’s interior would cause melting , and the rock would turn into magma . The magma would cool and turn into igneous rock. Then, energy from the sun would cause weathering to turn the rock into sediment .

Energy from the sun would cause weathering to make sediment . Compaction and cementation would turn the sediment into sedimentary rock, and then energy from Earth’s interior would cause melting , and the rock would turn into magma .

Energy from the sun would cause weathering to make sediment. The sediment will then be compacted and cemented into a sedimentary rock. Then, the energy from Earth’s interior would cause melting, and turn the rock into magma.
