What are the three main types of rocks involved in the rock cycle?

• Igneous, Volcanic, and Sedimentary

• Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic

• Fire, Layered, and Transformed

• Magma, Lava, and Sediment

How are igneous rocks primarily formed?

• Through the compaction and cementation of sediments.

• By the cooling and solidification of molten magma or lava.

• When existing rocks are subjected to extreme heat and pressure.

• By the weathering and erosion of other rock types.

What process transforms igneous rocks into sediments?

• Melting

• Compaction

• Weathering

• Metamorphism

Which of the following is a characteristic of extrusive igneous rocks?

• Formed beneath the Earth's surface.

• Cool rapidly.

• Have a rough and grainy texture.

• Are typically insulated during formation.

What three main processes are involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?

• Melting, cooling, and crystallization.

• Weathering, erosion, and metamorphism.

• Accumulation, compaction, and cementation.

• Sublimation, deposition, and solidification.

Which type of sedimentary rock is formed from the remains of plants and animals?

• Clastic

• Chemical

• Organic

• Metamorphic

What are the primary factors that cause existing rocks to transform into metamorphic rocks?

• Weathering, erosion, and deposition.

• Melting, cooling, and crystallization.

• Heat, pressure, and chemical processes.

• Volcanic eruptions and rapid cooling.
