What is Cementation?
The binding of sediment particles; forms sedimentary rock
Process of sediment erosion
Weathering process
The spreading and drying of sediment particles
How are sedimentary rocks formed?
Through volcanic activity
From compacted and cemented sediments
By intense pressure and heat
By crystallization of magma
Molten rock material found on Earth’s surface is called...

Magma
Obsidian
Lava
The rock cycle is the...
Movement of tectonic plates
Process of volcanic eruptions
Continuous cycle of rocks from sedimentary, to igneous, to metamorphic, and then back to sedimentary
Formation of sedimentary layers
What is/are the process/es that helps form existing rock into metamorphic rock?
Sedimentation
Metamorphism AKA Heat and Pressure
Deposition and Compaction
Weathering and Erosion
What rocks may contain fossils?
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Igneous
What is/are the process/es that help/s form existing rock into sedimentary rock?
Cooling and solidification
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation
Metamorphism
Deposition and crystallization
What rock will have banded (ribbon-like) layers?
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
What rock that has cooled fast may look like glass?
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
How do sediments move?
Through erosion by water, wind, ice, or gravity
Through uplift
Through subduction
Through volcanic activity
_____ is the term used to describe the breaking down of sedimentary rocks into sediments.
Metamorphism
Erosion
Weathering
Deposition
Movement of tectonic plates creates extreme _____ below Earth’s surface.
Heat
Pressure
Friction
Volcanic Activity
What patterns or features can you use to identify different types of rocks (metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous)?
Metamorphic: Layers
Sedimentary: Crystals
Igneous: Fossils
Metamorphic: Ribbon-like layers
Sedimentary: Layers or fossils
Igneous: Porous, smooth, or crystals
What are the different parts of the rock cycle and how does one type of rock become another?
Rocks change through erosion and transportation
Rocks change through melting, cooling, and crystallization
Rocks change through cooling and solidification (igneous), weathering and compaction (sedimentary), and change through heat and pressure (metamorphic)
What is the difference between an intrusive igneous rock and an extrusive igneous rock?
Intrusive igneous rocks form outside Earth’s crust from the cooling and hardening of lava, while extrusive igneous rocks form inside the Earth’s crust when magma cools and hardens.
There is no difference.
Intrusive igneous rocks form inside the Earth’s crust when magma cools and hardens, while extrusive igneous rocks form outside Earth’s crust from the cooling and hardening of lava.
