The process by which wind, water, ice, and changes in temperature break down rock into fragments called sediments is:
Deposition
Weathering
Erosion
Heat and pressure
Rock that forms when minerals from solutions or sediment from older rocks get pressed and cemented together.
Sedimentary rock
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
Rock that forms when intense heat and/or pressure change existing rock.
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock
The process by which metamorphic rocks are formed is:
heat and pressure
compaction and cementation
melting and cooling
weathering and erosion
The process by which igneous rock forms is
heat and pressure
compaction and cementation
melting and cooling
weathering and erosion
A metamorphic rock can become:
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock
All of these
An igneous rock can become
Sedimentary rock
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
All of these
The process by which sediment is moved/transported from one place to another. Can be caused by water, wind, ice, and gravity.
