Final Practice

Particles are compacted and cemented into new sedimentary rock. → High heat and pressure compact large rocks into sediments. → Particles are compacted and cemented into new sedimentary rock.

Wind and water move and help the sediment particles collected. → High heat and pressure compact large rocks into sediments. → Particles are melted and cooled into new sedimentary rock.

High heat and pressure compact large rocks into sediments. → Particles are compacted and cemented into new sedimentary rock. → Wind and water move and help the sediment particles collected.

Weathering and erosion break down large rocks into sediment. → Wind and water move and help the sediment particles collected. → Particles are compacted and cemented into new sedimentary rock.

There is strong tidal activity along the coasts.

There are numerous tectonic plate boundaries.

There are powerful ocean currents in the Pacific.

There is warm and cool water mixing in the Pacific.

Ocean currents carried sand and silt through erosion to form the islands.

Ocean currents carried sand and silt through deposition to form the islands.

Magma sank from a downward-traveling plate and cooled to form the islands.

Energy from the Sun and Earth drives the processes of the rock cycle.

Any rock on the surface of Earth can be transformed into another form by the processes given in the rock cycle.

Igneous rocks get eroded to form metamorphic rocks.

Lava cools inside the surface of the Earth to form sedimentary rocks.

A continuous recycling of the rocks goes on in the rock cycle.

Conduction from the core creates strong magnetic fields in the mantle, which help to move Earth's plates.

Pressure from the core creates convection currents in the mantle, which help to move Earth's plates.

Heavy metals in the mantle create strong magnetic fields, which help to move Earth's plates.

Temperature differences in the mantle create convection currents, which help to move Earth's plates.

It is a living factor that warms the living water.

It is a nonliving factor that heats up the nonliving sand.

It is a living factor that reflects off the surface of the nonliving water.

It is a nonliving factor that provides energy to the nonliving palm tree.
