What is the rock material that forms igneous rock?

• sediment

• lava

• magma

• uplift

What is the PROCESS that moves sediment from one place to another?

• weathering

• erosion

• deposition

• cooling

Answer explanation

Weathering creates sediment. Erosion moves sediment from one place to another. Deposition is when sediment gets to the other place.

What is the rock material that forms sedimentary rock?

• sediment

• lava

• magma

• uplift

Answer explanation

Sediment forms sedimentary rock. Magma forms igneous rock.

Metamorphic rock is unique because

• it is formed from plate motion

• it changes rock without melting it

• it is formed by changing existing rock

• it is formed by intense heat AND pressure

Answer explanation

All of the choices are correct!

What is the PROCESS that creates sedimentary rock?

• compaction and cementation

• weathering

• melting

• cooling

Answer explanation

Weathering creates sediment by breaking down rock with wind and water. Compaction and cementation applies pressure to sediment and over time creates sedimentary rock.
