How does weathering play a role in the rock cycle
it does not play a role in the rock cycle
It can play in the rock cycle by changing or breaking the rock
it can play a role by changing a rock with extreme heat and pressure.
It is both 2 and 3

(a)
What is basalt?
(a)
How can granite become sedimentary rock.
During weathering and erosion.
During cementation and compaction
none of the answers displayed

How is sedimentary rock identified
(a)
Name the three ways in which minerals form
Igneous environment, sedimentary environment and metamorphic environment
Heat and pressure,melting, and cemantation and compaction
none of the answers
both 1 and 2
Rock formed deep in the earth

(a)
Rock formed when sediments are compacted or cemented together by new minerals
sedimentary rock
Metamorphic rock
Igneous rock
Rock cycle
what rock is often identified by mineral crystals into parallel layers that show up as light and dark bands.
(a)
what are the characteristics of a mineral
An inorganic solid with a definite composition
An organic solid with a non definite composition
A solid made up of minerals
none of the above
A solid made up of minerals
(a)
What rock is identified by how big or small the crystals are
Crystals
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock
Fast cooling results in
Big crystals
none or little crystals
Slowly cooling crystals result in
none to little crystals at all
Many crystals
The Natural processes what changes one rock to another
(a)
A solid with atoms in a repeating pattern
(a)
Explain why metamorphic rock rarely forms at the earths surface
not enough heat and pressure
to much water at the surface
the surface of the earth has too much heat and pressure
all of the above
