Cycling of Earth's Materials

A rock formed from fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• Extrusive Rock
• Igneous Rock

What are the three types of rocks?

• Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary

• Intellectual, Metallic, Salinity

• Ingenious, Magnetic, Sentimental

• None of the above

The steps of the rock cycle are

• weathering and erosion

• compaction and cementation

• melting and cooling

• heat and pressure

• All of the above

Igneous rocks are made from everything except

• Lava

• Magma

• Fossils

The natural chemical or physical processes that breaks down rock on Earth's surface.

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition

The process by which water, ice, wind or gravity moves weathered rock and soil from one place to another.

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition

The process that presses sediments together

• clastic rock
• cementation
• compaction
• deposition

Adding heat until something changes from a solid to a liquid

• cooling

• erosion

• weathering

• melting

Describe sedimentation

• Sediments undergo heat and pressure to form a rock

• sediments undergo cooling to form a rock

• sediments undergo cementation to form a rock

• sediments undergo weathering and erosion to pile up in another place

Which process involves the transformation of sediment into rock through compaction and cementation?

• Weathering

• Melting

• Lithification

• Metamorphism
