18.

19.
What is the first step of the rock cycle.
a)
Variation in temperature, pressure, and/or the composition of the rock can cause chemical and/or physical changes in igneous and sedimentary rocks to form metamorphic rocks. When exposed to higher temperatures, metamorphic rocks may be partially melted resulting in the creation once again of igneous rocks starting the cycle all over again.
b)
Liquid rock material solidifies either at or below the surface of the earth to form igneous rock
c)
Uplifting occurs forming mountains made of rock.The exposure of rocks to weathering and erosion at the Earth’s Surface breaks them down into smaller grains producing soil. The grains are transported by wind, water and gravity and eventually deposited as sediments. The sediments are deposited in layers and become compacted and cemented forming sedimentary rocks.
