The Rock Cycle

This type of rock is formed when magma cools and hardens

• Metamorphic Rock

• Igneous Rocks

• Sedimentary Rock

Answer explanation

Igneous rocks form at the beginning of the cycle, when hot magma is cool and hardened

This type of rock forms through weathering

• Igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Volcanic Rock

Answer explanation

Sedimentary Rock is created when weathering beaks igneous rocks down into smaller pieces.

Which is NOT an agent of erosion?

• Water

• Ice

• Wind

• Fire

Once an agent of erosion loses it's energy, the sediments drop, this is called

• weathering

• compaction

• deposition

• cementation

The two processes that change sediment into sedimentary rock are compaction and cementation

• True

• False

One of the classifications of sedimentary rock is Chemical. Which is the other classification?

• Compacted

• Clastic

• Fossilized

• Volcanic

This type of rock ends the Rock Cycle. Extreme pressure and heat shift sedimentary rock into

• metamorphic rock

• igneous rock

• volcanic rock

• sedimentary rock

Metamorphic rock adheres to the heat and pressure, and eventually melts back into hot magma

• True

• False

Foliated and Non-Foliated are classifications for Sedimentary Rock

• True

• False

The Rock Cycle produces new types of rock on Earth

• True

• False
