Owens Rock Cycle Review

This rock formed when lava cooled very quickly on Earth's surface. What specific type of rock is it?

• Extrusive Igneous Rock
• Intrusive Igneous Rock
• Non-Foliated Metamorphic Rock
• Biochemical Sedimentary Rock

This rock was found near the mouth of a volcano. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

This diagram shows how rocks change from one kind to another

• rock cycle
• erosion
• sedimentation
• metamorphism

Each rock type can follow only one pathway of the rock cycle.

• True
• False

1. What will happen if an igneous rock is put under an extreme amount of heat and pressure?

• it will melt into lava
• it will weather and erode
• it will become a metamorphic rock
• it will become a sedimentary 

This rock was molten magma that slowly cooled under the ground. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

Each rock type can follow only one pathway of the rock cycle.

• True
• False

A never ending process by which rocks are changed from one type to another.  

• weathering and erosion
• rock cycle
• heat and pressure
• pressing and cementing

This rock is made from tiny pieces of other rocks that settled to the bottom of a valley millions of years ago. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

This rock started as lava that cooled and then was heated and put under pressure over time. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentar
