rock cycle assessment/review

Geologists have classified rocks into three major groups of rocks which are:

• inorganic, organic and chemical rocks

• igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks

• metamorphic, chemical and non chemical rocks

• sedimentary, inorganic and igneous rocks

Any rock that forms from another rock as a result of changes in heat or pressure (or both) is a:

• chemical rock

• igneous rock

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

NGSS.MS-ESS2-1

A rock that forms from many small fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

• extrusive rock

The process by which metamorphic rock changes to igneous rock begins with

• melting

• erosion

• deposition

• crystallization

If heat and pressure inside Earth cause the texture and crystal structure of a rock to change, what new material is formed?

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

• igneous rock

• chemical rock

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

The three groups of rocks are classified by

• How they form

• Color

• Grain size

• Chemical Composition

Fossils are only found in

• Sedimentary rocks

• Foliated Metamorphic rocks

• Igneous Rocks

• Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks

This rock started as molten magma. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic
