Amplify Rock Transformations Critical Juncture 2.5

Dr. Bayul studies rock formations all over the world. She is working on a study of two rock formations. The information from the study is as follows: - Rock A formed from liquid rock. - Rock B formed from small pieces of rock in a different place. -Rocks A and B formed at about the same time. Are Rocks A and B the same or different types of rocks?

• the SAME type because they both formed from rock material.
• the SAME type because they formed at the same time.
• DIFFERENT types because they formed in different ways.

There are some people that work with rock, cutting it into shapes to use for building. One of those people were unloading a new delievery of rocks and noticed that the delivery contained two different types of rock. How could energy have played a role in the different rock types forming?

• Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. Energy inside the earth melts rock into liquid rock, and energy from the sun causes the rock to weather into small pieces of rock.
• Energy changes rock in different ways, depending on the starting rock type. Energy changes igneous rocks into liquid rock and changes sedimentary rock into smaller pieces.
• Energy caused one rock type to form, but not the other. Rock that forms because of energy is different than rock that is formed without energy.

Our 7th grade class takes a field trip to the geology museum. We see an interesting sample of an igneous rock. Could this igneous rock have come from a sedimentary rock?

• Yes, if sedimentary rock is subducted below the Earth's outer layer and exposed to energy from the interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.
• No, igneous rock forms under the Earth's crust due to energy from Earth's interior, and sedimentary rock can only be found on Earth's surface.

Rock A formed from liquid rock. Rock B formed from small pieces of sediments in a different location. Rock A and B formed at about the same time. Are Rocks A and B the same or different types of rock?

• DIFFERENT because they formed in different ways.
• SAME because they formed a tthe same time.

How does energy play a role in the different rock formations?

• Energy changes rock on each continent differently. Every continent on earth has different types of rock that form.
• Energy changes rocks in different ways, depends on the type of rock.
• Energy from different sources (earths interior and the sun) change rocks differently. Energy inside the earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rocks to weather and erode.

Could this sandstone have formed from an igneous rock?

• Yes, if igneous rock is moved to Earth's surface, exposed to ENERGY FROM THE SUN, it could become weathered into smaller pieces of rock forming the sandstone.
• No, Sedimentary rock can only form out of materials from other sedimentary rocks.
• No, Sedimentary rocks form at Earth's surface and Igneous rocks stay under Earth's crust.
