SC.6.E.6.1

The rock cycle is a model of how rock is changed from one type to another.  The three rocks represented are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.  What has to happen in order for metamorphic rock to form sedimentary rock?

 

Las tres rocas representadas son ígneas, sedimentarias y metamórficas. ¿Qué tiene que pasar para que la roca metamórfica forme roca sedimentaria?

• The rock must be weathered then compacted.

• Metamorphic rock does not change into sedimentary rock.

• The rock must be melted by excessive heat and then solidified by cooling.

• Sediment must be put under pressure and heated to extreme temperatures.

SC.7.E.6.2

While studying rocks in Hawaii, a geologist discovered an abundance of igneous rock.  Which of the statements below best describes how this rock most likely formed?

 

Mientras estudiaba rocas en Hawái, un geólogo descubrió una gran cantidad de rocas ígneas. ¿Cuál de las siguientes afirmaciones describe mejor cómo se formó esta roca?

• Sedimentary rock melted then cooled to become igneous rock.

• Metamorphic rock melted then cooled to become igneous rock.

• Metamorphic rock was weathered then melted to become igneous rock

•   Either metamorphic or sedimentary rock was melted then cooled to form igneous rock.

The movement of Earth's plates results in changes in Earth's surface. Some of these changes occur very quickly, while others may take millions of years to form.  Which of the following is most likely formed from a rapid change?

 

Algunos de estos cambios ocurren muy rápidamente, mientras que otros pueden tardar millones de años en formarse. ¿Cuál de los siguientes es más probable que se forme a partir de un cambio rápido?

• a volcano 

• a rift valley

• a mountain range

•   a mid-ocean ridge

SC.7.E.6.7

Which of the following statements best explains the role heat flow has in changing Earth’s surface?

 

¿Cuál de las siguientes afirmaciones explica mejor el papel que tiene el flujo de calor en el cambio de la superficie de la Tierra?

• Volcanoes erupt when the crust is moved by the convection of Earth’s inner and outer cores.

•     Ocean basins form when convection of the mantle moves apart tectonic plates.

•   Earthquakes occur when heat from the inner core moves the crust.

• Tectonic plates move when the lithosphere cools.
