Rock Cycle

What type of rock is formed when bits of other rocks become pressed into a solid?

• Metamorphic Rock

• Igneous Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Volcanic Rock

What is metamorphic rock?

• A type of rock that has been changed from its original form due to heat and pressure.

• A type of rock formed from the cooling of molten lava.

• A type of rock that is formed by the accumulation of sediment.

• A type of rock that has been altered by chemical processes.

What is the role of weathering in the rock cycle?

• Weathering causes rocks to glow in the dark.

• Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which can then be transported and form sedimentary rocks.

• Weathering makes rocks harder and more durable.

• Weathering is the process of melting rocks into magma.

What is a rock formed from fragments of other rocks called?

• Igneous Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Sedimentary Rock

• Volcanic Rock

What term is given to the process when a rock is broken down into smaller pieces?

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Sedimentation

• Metamorphism

What type of rock is formed from cooled magma or lava?

• Sedimentary Rock

• Metamorphic Rock

• Igneous Rock

• Volcanic Rock

What is the significance of sediment in the rock cycle?

• Sediment is a key component in the formation of sedimentary rocks and is created through weathering and erosion.

• Sediment is primarily formed from volcanic activity and contributes to igneous rock formation.

• Sediment plays a minor role in the rock cycle and is often overlooked in geological studies.

• Sediment is only important for soil formation and has no impact on the rock cycle.

What do we call the small pieces of rock that result from weathering?

• Sediment

• Granite

• Boulder

• Clay

What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?

• Intrusive rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the surface, while extrusive rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface.

• Intrusive rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the surface.

• Both intrusive and extrusive rocks form from magma that cools at the same rate.

• Intrusive rocks are formed only in volcanic eruptions, while extrusive rocks are formed underground.

What is the process by which igneous rocks are formed?

• Melting and solidification

• Erosion and sedimentation

• Metamorphism

• Crystallization and evaporation
