What is an igneous rock?
forms when lava or magma cools and solidifies
formed deep underground due to heat and pressure
forms when particles of other rocks are deposited in layers and compacted and cemented
What is a metamorphic rock?
forms when lava or magma cools and solidifies
formed deep underground due to heat and pressure
forms when particles of other rocks are deposited in layers and compacted and cemented

Igneous rocks
An igneous rock can be changed into a metamorphic rock, a metamorphic rock can crumble to become a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can be remelted to become magma. This is known as –
The rock cycle
The carbon cycle
The geological cycle
The Earth materials cycle
How can a metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock?
It is eroded into small bits that are deposited into igneous rocks.
It cannot become a sedimentary rock.
It can be weathered into small bits that are deposited, compacted, and cemented into a new rock form.
It can be weathered into large bits that are carried downstream by water.
Crystallization is a significant process in the development of which type of rock?
Deposited
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Igneous
Energy from the sun has an effect on the rocky surface of the earth in which of the following processes?
Formation of crystals as molten rock cools
Erosion of rock surface
Faulting and folding of rock layers
Landforms created by tectonic plate movement
