Amplify Science Rock Transformation

ANY rock can become magma through the process called ________ and that process happens because of ________.

• melting, energy from the sun

• melting, energy from the interior of the Earth

• weathering, energy from the sun

• weathering, energy from the interior of the Earth

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.

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.

How can an igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?

• 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.
