Rock Cycle

The rock cycle is a model that shows any type of rock can be turned into any other type of rock.

• True

• False

How does igneous rock form?

• cooling and crystallization of magma or lava

• heat and pressure

• erosion/weathering into oceans

How does sedimentary rock form?

• cooling and crystallization of magma or lava

• heat and pressure

• erosion/weathering into oceans

How does metamorphic rock form?

• cooling and crystallization of magma or lava

• heat and pressure

• erosion/weathering into oceans

Bits of rock and minerals that form from the weathering of rock are called:

• sediments

• particles

• cement

Before sediments can become a sedimentary rock, they must be

• metamorphosed

• compacted and cemented

• uplifted

• cooled and melted

What transforms igneous rock into sedimentary rock?

• evaporation and condensation

• heat and pressure

• melting and cooling

• erosion and cementation

A student visits the area around a volcano that has recently erupted. The student can expect to find samples of:

• clastic sedimentary rock

• extrusive igneous rock

• chemically formed sedimentary rock

• non-foliated metamorphic rock

When granite is subjected to high amounts of heat and pressure, it changes into -

• metamorphic rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

• sediments

When slate undergoes weathering, it becomes

• metamorphic rock

• sediment

• sedimentary rock

• igneous rock
