Rock Cycle

Most metamorphic rock forms

• deep underground

• on Earth's surface

• when solutions evaporate

• when minerals in magma crystalize

An intrusive igneous rock

• lacks a crystal structure

• formed from lava that erupted onto the surface

• is coarse-grained with large crystals

• is fine-grained with small crystals

Which of the following is NOT a sedimentary rock?

• granite

• conglomerate

• sandstone

• limestone

The minerals that make up most of the Earth's crust are called

• sediments

• rock-forming minerals

• organic rocks

• foliated rocks

Erosion and deposition play roles in the formation of what kind of rock?

• metamorphic

• foliated rock

• sedimentary rock

• igneous

Slate is basically a denser, more compact version of

• granite

• shale

• marble

• sandstone

The names of 3 major groups of rocks refer to

• where rocks formed

• the size and shape of the rocks' grains

• when the rocks formed

• how the rocks formed

Metamorphic rocks that have their grains arranged in parallel bands are said to be

• foliated

• intrusive

• extrusive

• hard

The process in which dissolved materials crystalize and glue particles of sediment together is called

• cementation

• conglomerate

• foliation

• magma

The series of processes that change rock from one type to another is called the

• cementation

• metamorphasis

• rock cycle

• conglomeration
