Science test: Rock Cycle 🪨
Q
What are the 3 main types of rocks?
A
Igneous, Metamorphic, and sedimentary
Q
What process changes a igneous rock to a metamorphic rock?
A
Heat and preasure
Q
What process changes an igneous rock to a metamorphic rock?
A
Heat and preasure
Q
How do sediments turn into a sedimentary rock?
A
Compaction and cementation
Q
what process changes a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock?
A
Melting to molten rock then it cools and crystallizes
Q
what changes an igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
A
Weathering and erosion, then sediments and compaction and cementation.
Q
what process changes a sedimentary rock to an igneous rock?
A
heat and preasure, then metamorphic rock, melting, and cooling and crystallization.
Q
how are sediments formed?
A
Weathering and erosion
Q
How is magma/molten rock formed?
A
melting metamorphic rock
Q
how are igneous rocks formed?
A
molten rocks cooling and crystalizing
Q
how are sedimentary rocks formed?
A
sediments compaction and cementation
Q
how are metamorphic rocks formed?
A
sedimentary rock being heated and preasured.
Q
All rocks don't follow the same way through the rock cycle, how come?
A
depending on the location and environment rocks take different pathways.
Q
how can a metamorphic rock become a sedimentary rock?
A
weathering and erosion, turned to sediments, then compaction and cementation.
Q
which type of rock forms from the compaction and cementation of sediments?
A
sedimentary rock
Q
what type of rock forms only from the solidification of magma?
A
igneous
Q
after rocks are changed by the process of weathering and erosion, they become....
A
sediments
Q
what type of rock is always formed when another type of rock undergoes heat and preasure?
A
Metamorphic rock
Q
according to the rock cycle, what type of rock (s) may change to molten rock?
A
ALL OF THEM
