• Melting and cooling

What type of rock forms when molten rock cools and solidifies?

• Sedimentary rock

• Igneous rock

• Metamorphic rock

What is the process by which sedimentary rocks are formed?

• Heat and pressure

• Deposition and erosion

• Melting and cooling

What kind of rock is formed by the cooling and hardening of magma or lava?

• Sedimentary rock

• Metamorphic rock

• Igneous rock

Which process involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces due to weathering and movement by wind, water, or ice?

• Erosion

• Melting

• Deposition

What type of rock forms from the alteration of existing rock due to heat, pressure, or chemical processes?

• Igneous rock

• Sedimentary rock

• Metamorphic rock

What kind of rocks are often formed from the accumulation and compression of plant and animal remains?

• Igneous rocks

• Sedimentary rocks

• Metamorphic rocks

What process causes rocks to change form due to extreme heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface?

• Metamorphism

• Cooling

• Melting

What type of rock cycle process involves the melting of rocks due to high temperatures?
