Students were having a debate on how sedimentary rock are made.

Student 1: Sand in the sediments melt and turn into rock.

Student 2: The weight of the water compacts and the sediment into rock

Student 3: Changing water temperature turn sand in the sediment into rock

Student 4: Pollution caused by human turn the sediment into rock.

Which student is correct?

• Student 1

• Student 2

• Student 3

• Student 4

A student finds a sandstone on a hiking trip. He creates the steps it took to create the sandstone.

1. A large rock gets weathered.

2. The sediments are eroded by water

3. The sediments are deposited at a beach

4. ?

5. Sandstone is created.

Which two processes best completes the 4th step?

• Melting and cooling

• Erosion and compaction

• Compaction and cementation

• Evaporation and dissolving

A student was on vacation and took a picture of this rock. The student claims that the picture shows a sedimentary rock. What feature about the rock help the students identify it was a sedimentary rock?

• Sedimentary rock is made from lava

• Sedimentary rock is made from marine organisms

• Sedimentary rock has layers of different rocks

• Sedimentary rock has water near it

When the weight of new  sediment layers is deposited on top of older layers

• erosion
• compaction
• pressure
• weathering

Which of the following correctly completes the Sedimentary Rock Cycle?

• A = Compaction, B = Erosion, C = Cementation

• A = Erosion, B = Compaction, C = Cementation

• A = Cementation, B = Compaction, C = Erosion

• A = Erosion, B = Cementation, C = Compaction
