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

Limestone is a sedimentary rock. During the rock cycle, limestone is changed into marble, a metamorphic rock. The processes that act on limestone and change it into marble are

• weather and erosion

• heat and pressure

• compacting and cementing

• melting, cooling, and hardening
