Which type of rock is formed when heat or pressure deep underground changes existing rock?

• igneous

• metamorphic

• sedimentary

• marble

What step in the rock transformation process occurs after rock has been weathered and eroded?

• compaction and cementation

• subduction

• melting

• cooling

You have 2 rocks formed at the same time. One rock was formed from small pieces of rock and the other was formed from liquid rock in a different place. Would these rocks be the same or different types of rock? Why?

• the same type because they are both formed from rock material.

• the same type because they formed at the same time

• different types because they formed in different ways

• different types because they formed in different places

Can igneous rock be formed from rock that was once sedimentary rock?

• Yes, if sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from the sun at Earth’s surface for a long enough time, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

• Yes, if sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock

• No, igneous rock can only form from other igneous rock. Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.

• No, igneous rock forms under Earth’s outer layer due to energy from Earth’s interior, but sedimentary rock only forms at Earth’s surface.

Sedimentary rock is formed when

• rock moves beneath the surface of Earth, is melted into magma, then cooled to form rock.

• energy from the sun causes rock to be weathered, broken into sediment, and then compacted and cemented together to form rock.

• rock moves above Earth's surface and is exposed to energy from Earth's interior.

• energy from Earth's interior causes the sediment to melt and form rock.
