7th grade Rock Cycle

A rock formed from fragments of other rocks is a(n)

• Metamorphic Rock
• Sedimentary Rock
• Extrusive Rock
• Igneous Rock

As lava cools and crystallizes, what type of rock will form?

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

• Sediments

The three groups of rocks are classified by

• How they form
• Color
• Grain size
• Chemical Composition

The process by which atoms are arranged to form a material with a crystal structure

• foliated

• crystallization

• cementation

• None of the above

What are the three types of rocks?

• Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary

• Intellectual, Metallic, Salinity

• Ingenious, Magnetic, Sentimental

• None of the above

The steps of the rock cycle are

• weathering and erosion

• compaction and cementation

• melting and cooling

• heat and pressure

• All of the above

Igneous rocks are made from everything except

• Lava

• Magma

• Fossils
