Two rocks formed at the same time. One was made from magma that cooled and the other was made from sediments that were compacted and cemented.

The rocks are _______.

• Different because they formed in different places.

• Different because they formed in different ways.

• The same because they formed at the same time.

• The same because they are both made of rock material.

You observe two rocks. Rock 1 is from Arizona and Rock 2 is from Kentucky.

Rock 1: Formed from liquid rock.

Rock 2: Formed from small pieces of rock

Rocks 1 and 2: Formed at about the same time.

The rocks are _____________.

• Different because they formed in different ways.

• The same because they formed at about the same time.

• Different because they were formed in different places.

• The same because they both formed from rock material.

Ms. Bayne shows you a rock that Kevin brought to class. It is from California and it formed from liquid rock. She also shows you a rock brought in by Ms. Lammy. That rock has layers and formed from sediments. Both rocks are 1,500,000 years old.

The rocks are ______________.

• different types because they formed in different places.

• the same because they formed at the same time.

• different types because they were formed in different ways.

• the same because they were both formed from rock material.

True or False: If an Igneous rock is exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into sediment and eventually form sedimentary rock.

• True

• False

You find an igenous rock in your back yard. Is it possible that material from this rock formation could ever form sedimentary rock on Earth’s surface?

• No, sedimentary rock can only form out of material from other sedimentary rock. There is no way that sedimentary rock can form from material in igneous rock.

• No, sedimentary rock forms at Earth’s surface because energy from the sun causes rock to weather, but igneous rock under Earth’s outer layer is not exposed to energy from the sun.

• Yes, energy from Earth’s interior can cause igneous rock to break into small rock pieces that can form sedimentary rock.

• Yes, if igneous rock is moved to Earth’s surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.
