Rocks and Rock Cycle

What are the three main types of rocks?

• Solid, liquid, gas

• North, south, east

• Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic

• Red, blue, green

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• Erosion, melting, and crystallization of sediments

• Deposition, compaction, and cementation of sediments

• Weathering, subduction, and metamorphism of sediments

• Evaporation, precipitation, and lithification of sediments

What is the process of compacting and cementing sediments to form sedimentary rocks called?

• sublimation

• vaporization

• lithification

• evaporation

What are the two main types of igneous rocks?

• Sedimentary and metamorphic

• Volcanic and plutonic

• Intrusive and extrusive

• Basaltic and granitic

How are igneous rocks formed?

• From the accumulation of sedimentary rocks

• From the solidification of molten rock material

• By the cooling of water

• Through the compression of organic materials

What is the process of cooling and solidifying magma or lava to form igneous rocks called?

• Vaporization

• Liquidation

• Gasification

• Solidification

What are the two main types of metamorphic rocks?

• Igneous and sedimentary

• Foliated and non-foliated

• Limestone and sandstone

• Granite and marble

How are metamorphic rocks formed?

• Through the process of heat and pressure acting on existing rocks

• By the cooling and solidification of molten rock

• Through the process of evaporation and crystallization

• Through the process of erosion and sedimentation

What is the process of changing existing rocks through heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks called?

• Volcanism

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Metamorphism

What is the rock cycle?

• The rock cycle is a popular rock band from the 1980s

• The rock cycle is a type of exercise routine involving lifting heavy rocks

• The rock cycle is a method of predicting earthquakes based on rock formations

• The rock cycle is a continuous process of rock formation, transformation, and reformation.
