Which of the following statements about the rock cycle is FALSE ?

It is a linear or sequential process that has clear beginning and end points

It is the process by which all rocks are formed

It is how basic Earth material is recycled

It has occurred over geologic time

Which rock forming process is shown the image?

Increasing pressure compacting sediments into sedimentary rock.

Erosion and pressure creating metamorphic rock.

Intense pressure morphing preexisting metamorphic rock into another type of metamorphic rock.

Sometimes metamorphic rock is found next to an igneous intrusion, as shown in the drawing. According to geologists, what causes this?

The surrounding rock was metamorphosed when it came into contact with the hot magma.

The metamorphic rock was lighter than the magma and floated to the top and sides.

Vapor from the magma condensed to form metamorphic rock.

The magma replaced all but the outer edge of existing metamorphic rock.

Refer to the illustration. In a sedimentary rock, the amount of rounding of a clast is an indication of –

The distance the clast has traveled before lithification

The temperature during the formation of the rock

The amount of gas in the lava during cooling

The type of fossil that might be present in the shale

The picture below shows a limestone building block. Which observation best shows that the limestone was formed from ocean sediments?

The thickness of the rock layers
