Igneous rocks transform to sediments by

• Heat and Pressure

• Cementation

• Melting and Cooling

• Weathering and Erosion

Sedimentary rocks transform into metamorphic rock by

• compaction and cementation

• heat and pressure

• weathering and erosion

• melting and cooling

Metamorphic rock transforms to igneous rock by

• weathering and erosion

• heating and cooling

• compaction and cementation

After transforming to sediments from a metamorphic rock _____________  occurs to form sedimentary rock*

• Heat and Pressure

• Melting and Cooling

• Weathering and Erosion

• Compaction and Cementation

Which process usually follows weathering and erosion

• Rocks

• Deposition

• Water Cycle

• Melting

Which path must a rock take once it is in the rock cycle

• from sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock

• from igneous rock to sedimentary rock

• Any path in the rock cycle since no rock travels the same path through the rock cycle.
