2.6 Rock Transformations Exit Ticket

Order the following events to explain how minerals from the rocks in the Rocky Mountains can also be found in the rocks of the Great Plains.

• Igneous Rock that makes up the Rocky Mountains is exposed to the Sun's Energy

• Erosion carries the sediments from the Rocky Mountains downhill towards lower regions like the Great Plains.

• Sedimentary Rocks form at the Great Plains.

• The rock of the Rocky Mountains is weathered.

• Over time the sediments that landed in the Great Plains compact and cement together.

The process that forms sedimentary rock is driven by

• energy from the sun

• Pressure from tectonic plates

• energy from earth's interior

• The movement of underground water

The process that forms igneous rock is driven by

• energy from the sun

• Pressure from tectonic plates

• energy from earth's interior

• The movement of underground water

Order the events to explain what can happen to rocks as a result of tectonic plate movement.

• The magma rises to the surface.

• Any type of rock that makes up earth's crust is subducted at convergent plate boundaries.

• The subducted rock is exposed to heat from the Earth's interior.

• The rock melts into magma.

• The magma cools into igneous rocks.
