ROCKS AND ROCK CYCLE

What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?

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

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

• Both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks form from magma that cools at different rates.

• Intrusive igneous rocks are formed only in volcanic regions, while extrusive igneous rocks are formed in sedimentary environments.

What is cementation?

• The process of mixing cement with water and sand.

• The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and bind sediment particles together.

• The method of applying cement to surfaces for decoration.

• The technique of using cement to create sculptures.

What is the rock cycle?

• The process of weathering and erosion of rocks.

• The continuous process of transformation of rocks from one type to another, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

• The formation of rocks through volcanic activity.

• The breakdown of rocks into soil and sediment.

What is foliation in metamorphic rocks?

• The process of mineral grain alignment in metamorphic rocks, resulting in a layered appearance.

• A type of sedimentary rock formation that occurs under high pressure.

• The chemical weathering of rocks leading to the formation of soil.

• The crystallization of magma beneath the Earth's surface.

What is erosion?

• The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces.

• The movement of weathered rock and soil from one location to another, often by water, wind, or ice.

• The formation of new soil from organic matter.

• The process of plants absorbing nutrients from the soil.

What is sediment?

• Small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things, often formed through weathering.

• A type of liquid found in rivers and lakes.

• A large mass of ice that moves slowly over land.

• A mineral that is found only in volcanic regions.

What are metamorphic rocks?

• Rocks formed from volcanic activity.

• Rocks that have been changed by heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids.

• Rocks that are formed from the accumulation of sediments.

• Rocks that are formed from the cooling of magma.

What is clastic sedimentary rock?

• A type of rock formed from volcanic activity.

• A rock formed from fragments of other rocks that are compacted and cemented together.

• A rock that is formed from the cooling of magma.

• A type of rock that is formed from organic materials.

What are sedimentary rocks?

• Rocks formed from volcanic activity

• Rocks formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments

• Rocks that are formed under extreme heat and pressure

• Rocks that are primarily composed of crystalline structures

What is magma?

• Molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface that can form igneous rocks when it cools.

• A type of sedimentary rock found on the Earth's surface.

• A gas released during volcanic eruptions.

• A solid mineral found in the Earth's crust.
