Rocks Review

What are the three main layers of the Earth?

• Crust - Lava - Core

• Crust - Mantle - Core

• Mantle - Magma - Rocks

• Lava - Magma - Rocks

also called magmatic rocks, it is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

are types of rocks that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

these are rocks that arise from the transformation of an existing rock into a new type of rock, in a process called metamorphism

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

These are igneous rocks erupt onto the surface, where they cool quickly to form small crystals

• Intrusive Igneous Rocks

• Extrusive Igneous Rocks

The rock cycle shows the transformation of rocks to one type to another

• True

• False

This is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface.

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Sedimentation

• Metamorphism

This is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.

• Magma

• Lava

• Weathering

• Erosion

The process how metamorphic rocks are formed

• Sedimentation

• Cementation

• Heat

• Metamorphism

Weathering and erosion are the same

• True

• False
