Rock Cycle Quiz

What is the primary focus of the lesson on the rock cycle?

• The chemical composition of rocks

• How rocks transform through Earth processes

• The different types of rocks in the cycle

• The history of the rock cycle

What is the term for melted rock that emerges from a volcano?

• Sediment

• Magma

• Lava

• Igneous

How is igneous rock formed?

• By compression of sediments

• By cooling and hardening of lava

• Through heat and pressure

• Through weathering and erosion

Which statement is true about the rock cycle?

• It only moves in one direction

• It is a perfect circle like the water cycle

• It allows rocks to transform back and forth

• It only involves igneous and sedimentary rocks

What process forms sedimentary rocks?

• Melting of rocks

• Heat and pressure

• Cooling of magma

• Compression of sediments

Where are fossils typically found?

• In igneous rocks

• In magma

• In sedimentary rocks

• In metamorphic rocks

What is required to transform sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?

• Compression of layers

• Heat and pressure

• Cooling and hardening

• Weathering and erosion

How can metamorphic rocks return to sediments?

• Through cooling

• By heat and pressure

• Through weathering and erosion

• By compression

What happens to metamorphic rock when it is pushed deep inside the Earth?

• It remains unchanged

• It melts and becomes magma

• It turns into fossils

• It becomes sedimentary rock

What is the final step in the rock cycle as described in the lesson?

• Completion of the cycle with metamorphic rock

• Formation of igneous rock

• Formation of sedimentary rock

• Transformation of rocks through weathering
