Rock Cycle Test

How does having a sample help scientists?

• It allows scientists to work less than normal when studying an object.

• It allows scientists to observe a small part of something too big to work with.

• It allows scientists to work with more of the same object, little by little.

• It allows scientists to work with just the sample and ignore the object.

Match the characteristics with each rock type. ( One type will have Two! )

Groups:

(a) Igneous

,

(b) Sedimentary

,

(c) Metamorphic

Match the following rock types with how they are made.

• ...is made when Lava or Magma cools.

• Metamorphic Rock...

• ...is made when Sediment Compacts.

• Sedimentary Rock...

• ...is made with Heat and Pressure.

• Igneous Rock...

Match the following rock types with the processes that help make them.

• Volcanic Eruptions

• Metamorphic Rock

• Tectonic Plate Movement

• Igneous Rock

• Erosion

• Sedimentary Rock

An Igneous Rock is made when Magma/Lava ​ (a)   . Magma and Lava go to the surface through ​ (b)   . Existing rock can melt at ​ (c)   , where tectonic plates melt and become Magma and Lava again.

• Cools Down
• Volcanic Eruptions
• Subduction Zones
• Erodes
• Pressures
• Mountain Tops

How does subduction help create Igneous Rock?

• Subduction pushes plates together, giving rocks pressure.

• Subduction pushes rocks down to the core, melting it into magma.

• Subduction creates mountains by pushing plates underneath another.

• Subduction creates rock layers by positioning plates underneath each other.

What is the Rock Cycle?

• The Rock Cycle is the system of how rocks are created and destroyed into other rocks.

• The Rock Cycle is how rocks are moved around the earth.

• The Rock Cycle is the system of how rocks are every rock becomes the same type.

How does a simulation best help us learn about the rock cycle?

• A simulation helps scientists stay indoors when working with rocks to avoid damage.

• A simulation helps scientists by explaining the rock cycle.

• The simulation helps scientists see the rock cycle because it would normally take thousands of years.
