Exploring the Rock Cycle

What is the purpose of the recycling drive mentioned in the video?

• To collect and reuse old electronics

• To gather and recycle aluminum cans

• To clean up the local park

• To study different types of rocks

Which type of rock is formed directly from magma?

• None of the above

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

What are the three main types of rocks discussed in the video?

• Basalt, Granite, Pumice

• Marble, Slate, Quartz

• Sandstone, Limestone, Coal

• Sedimentary, Igneous, Metamorphic

How does igneous rock form according to the video?

• From magma cooling and solidifying

• From sediment being compressed

• From rock melting due to intense heat

• All of the above

Which rock type is associated with volcanoes?

• Metamorphic

• All of the above

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

What natural processes contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks?

• Heat and pressure

• Cooling and crystallization

• Melting and solidification

• Weathering and erosion

What transforms sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?

• Heat and pressure underground

• Cooling under the Earth's surface

• Erosion and deposition

• Melting into magma

What role does erosion play in the rock cycle?

• It helps break down rocks and move sediments

• It applies heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks

• It melts rocks into magma

• It compresses rocks into sedimentary layers

How is the concept of recycling similar to the rock cycle?

• Both primarily involve organic matter

• Both involve only man-made materials

• Both are processes of transforming materials into new forms

• Both are quick and visible processes
