• Melting

What can cause rocks to change into metamorphic rocks?

• Compaction and Cementation

• Weathering and Erosion

• Heat and Pressure

• Cooling and Hardening

Which of the following is NOT a process in the rock cycle?

• Melting

• Metamorphism

• Photosynthesis

• Erosion

What can happen to any kind of rock under the right conditions in the rock cycle?

• It can only melt into magma

• It can only become a sedimentary rock

• It can only undergo metamorphism

• It can transform into any other type of rock

What is the result of weathering and erosion on rocks?

• They are compressed into sedimentary rocks

• They break down into sediments

• They melt into magma

• They become metamorphic rocks

What processes turn sediments into sedimentary rocks?

• Heat and Pressure

• Compaction and Cementation

• Melting and Cooling

• Weathering and Erosion

How can igneous rocks directly become metamorphic rocks?

• By undergoing heat and pressure

• Through weathering and erosion

• By melting and cooling

• Through compaction and cementation

What is the final step in the transformation of granite into gneiss?

• Compaction and Cementation

• Cooling and Hardening

• Weathering and Erosion

• Heat and Pressure
