Rock types /cycle

This rock was formed when molten rock cooled into a solid. What type of rock is it?

• Igneous Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock

The process that presses sediments together

• clastic rock
• cementation
• compaction
• deposition

Sedimentary rocks often form horizontal strata. What are strata?

• Crystals

• Layers

• Mineral grains

• Pieces of older rocks

With regards to rocks, in the rock cycle these three things happen to rocks over time.

• Sublimated

• Created

• Destroyed

• Transformed

• Personified

With regards to rocks match the image to the process.

• Rock being transformed by heat from an adjacent magma chamber

• 
• Rock being destroy by ice freezing and expanding in the rock over and over again.

• 
• New rock being created in a lava flow

• 
• Rock being destroyed and carried off in a flash flood

• 
• Animals digging & burrowing into rock and soils

• 

The processes that break down prexisting rock near or on the Earth's surface.

• cementation

• compaction

• erosion

• weathering

When sediment gets carried away by wind, water, ice, gravity we call this....

• weathering

• erosion

• cementation

• compaction

Match the following

• Erosion

• pieces of weathered particles: clay, silt, sand, cobbles, and boulders.

• Weathering

• Processes which break down rock physically and chemically.

• Sediment

• How sediment gets carried to a new location, water, glaciers, wind, and gravity.

How might a weathered mountain appear different from a mountain that has not undergone much weathering?

• The weathered mountain would appear rounder in shape

• The weathered mountain would appear more jagged

• The weathered mountain would be taller

• The weathered mountain would contain fewer trees

Metamorphism is..

• Where water and wind carry away sediments

• Where chemical reactions change rocks into other substances

• Where intrusive igneous rocks become extrusive igneous rocks

• Where heat and pressure are applied to a rock to change it
