rock cycle

When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground, what type of rock results?

• Extrusive igneous rock

• Intrusive igneous rock

• Sedimentary rock

• Metamorphic rock

What combination of processes can transform a metamorphic rock to sediments?

• Melting, crystallization, and compaction

• Heating, pressure, and lithification

• Erosion, crystallization, and melting.

• Exposure, weathering, and erosion.

What sequence of events could lead to magma becoming soil?

• Crystallization followed by increased heat and pressure.

• Crystallization followed by exposure and weathering.

• Compression and lithification followed by erosion and deposition.

• Erosion and deposition followed by exposure to heat and pressure.

Which of the following rock types form from placing other rocks under heat and pressure?

• Sedimentary rock

• Intrusive igneous rock

• Metamorphic rock

• Extrusive igneous rock

This rock was formed by smaller pieces of rock that settled at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago. What type of rock is this?
