2021-2022 Rock Cycle

Weathering, Erosion and deposition can turn any rock into

• Metamorphic

• Sediments

• Igneous

• Compaction

Which is the process that breaks up rock on Earth’s surface?

• deposition

• melting

• compaction

• weathering

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

Any rock that forms from another rock as a result of changes in heat or pressure (or both) is a:

• chemical rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

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

• igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

• extrusive rock

The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock begins with

• melting

• erosion

• deposition

• crystallization

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

• chemical rock

A naturally occurring solid that can form by inorganic processes and that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.

• It´s a rock

• It´s a crystal

• It´s a mineral

• It´s a substance

Cooling & crystalization produce

• igneous rocks
• metamorphic rocks
• sedimentary rocks
