What is the rock cycle?
The process of forming only igneous rocks.
The continuous process of rock formation and change, including the transformation between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock types.
Answer explanation
The rock cycle describes the continuous process of rock formation and change, involving the transformation between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, making the second choice the correct answer.

How does weathering affect rocks in the rock cycle?
It melts rocks into magma.
It breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, creating sediments that can later form sedimentary rock.
Answer explanation
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which creates sediments. These sediments can accumulate and eventually compact and cement together to form sedimentary rock, making this process crucial in the rock cycle.

What is erosion, and how does it relate to the rock cycle?
Erosion is the movement of weathered rock and sediments by wind, water, or ice, contributing to the formation of new sedimentary layers.
Erosion is the process of rocks growing larger.
Answer explanation
Erosion involves the movement of weathered rock and sediments by natural forces like wind, water, or ice. This process is crucial in the rock cycle as it helps form new sedimentary layers, making the first answer correct.

How do plate tectonics influence the rock cycle?
Plate movement can create pressure and heat, leading to the formation of metamorphic rock or causing volcanic activity that forms igneous rock.
They have no effect on the rock cycle.
Answer explanation
Plate tectonics influence the rock cycle by creating pressure and heat, which can lead to the formation of metamorphic rock. Additionally, tectonic activity can cause volcanic eruptions that produce igneous rock.

What role do mountain-building events play in the rock cycle?
Mountain formation leads to uplift, exposing rocks to weathering and erosion, restarting the cycle.
They prevent rocks from changing.
Answer explanation
Mountain-building events cause uplift, which exposes rocks to weathering and erosion. This process is essential in the rock cycle as it breaks down rocks and allows for the formation of new sedimentary rocks, thus restarting the cycle.

How is sedimentary rock formed?
By melting igneous rock.
When layers of sediment are compacted and cemented over time.
Answer explanation
Sedimentary rock forms when layers of sediment accumulate over time and are compacted and cemented together, creating solid rock. This process is distinct from the melting of igneous rock.

What happens when igneous rock undergoes heat and pressure?
It transforms into metamorphic rock.
It becomes water.
Answer explanation
When igneous rock is subjected to heat and pressure, it undergoes metamorphism, transforming into metamorphic rock. This process alters its mineral composition and structure, unlike becoming water.
