Any rock that forms from another rock as a result of changes in heat or pressure (or both) is a:

• chemical rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

You find a deposit of organic limestone. In what type of rock setting did it probably form?

• the ocean

• a volcano

• a swamp

• sand dunes

A rock that forms from many small fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

• extrusive rock

The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock begins with

• melting

• erosion

• deposition

• crystallization

If heat and pressure inside Earth cause the texture and crystal structure of a rock to change, what new material is formed?

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

• igneous rock

• chemical rock

You find a rock in which the grains are arranged in wavy, parallel bands of white and black crystals. What kind of rock have you probably found?

• igneous

• sedimentary

• metamorphic

• extrusive

This is the continuous process of rock changing from one type to another.

• Igneous rocks

• Sedimentary rocks

• Metamorphic rocks

• Rock Cycle

Which of the following lists the steps an igneous rock undergoes in order to become a sedimentary rock, in the correct order?

• Deposition, erosion, melting, cooling

• Erosion, weathering, eruption, cooling

• Dissolving, deposition, cooling, fracture

• Weathering, erosion, deposition, cementation
