Which statements describe physical weathering?
Two rocks hit against each other in a fast-flowing stream and break apart.
Oxygen and water change the composition of the mineral in a rock.
Small rocks are pushed together when a mole digs an underground den.
What type of physical weathering could cause a rock to break apart?
Abrasions of the surface caused by rocks being moved
Gravity acting upon the loose rocks and dirt in the area
Water freezing in the rock crevasses
Which description is evidence of chemical weathering?
A rock in a windy desert has scratches on its surface.
A rock turns reddish color when exposed to air and water.
A rock in a tundra has deep cracks filled with ice.

What statements are true about the Rock Cycle?
The processes that form different kinds of rock and recycle matter on Earth do not have one defined pathway.
The Rock Cycle shows how the processes that form different kinds of rock are related.
It can take up to over 100 million years for rocks to form in the rock cycle.
Below are the energy source for the processes in the rock cycle. Which ones are correct?
Melting and cooling: Earth’s interior
Erosion and Deposition: Sun
Changing temperature and pressure: Earth’s interior
Which statement is incorrect about rock cycle processes. Metamorphic rock will sometimes become an igneous rock before it becomes another type of metamorphic rock.
Igneous rock will sometimes change as a result of temperature.
Sedimentary rock will always be eroded before becoming another type of sedimentary rock.
Magma will sometimes result in igneous rock when cooled.
Metamorphic rock will sometimes become an igneous rock before it becomes another type of metamorphic rock.

Sedimentary
Igneous
Metamorphic
None, coal is coal.
