WED+Rock Cycle

A rock formed from fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• Extrusive Rock
• Igneous Rock

If heat and pressure inside the Earth cause a rock to melt, the material that formed would be

• Metamorphic
• Magma
• Sedimentary
• Igneous

Fossils are only found in

• Sedimentary rocks
• Foliated Metamorphic rocks
• Igneous Rocks
• Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks

What happens to a rock when it is weathered?

• It is broken into smaller pieces.

• It is moved by wind, air, or water.

The flow chart below shows how a metamorphic rock can change into a sedimentary rock.

• cooling

• melting

• deposition

• weathering

Granite forms when liquid magma slowly cools within Earth’s crust. If the granite is exposed to intense heat and pressure, it can change to gneiss. Which type of change takes place when granite turns into gneiss?

• Sedimentary rock changes to igneous rock.

• Igneous rock changes to metamorphic rock

• Metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock

• Sedimentary rock changes to metamorphic rock

Which of the following actions causes the deposition of sand at a delta?

• river water slowing as it enters the ocean

• salt water and fresh water mixing together

• ocean waves transporting sand toward land

• ocean water slowing as it reaches the coast

After heavy rainfall, a stream causes more erosion than usual. Which statement is the most likely reason for this?

• The stream contains less water and moves faster.

• The stream contains less water and moves slower.

• The stream contains more water and moves faster

• The stream contains more water and moves slower.
