Matching: Compaction- Match Compaction to the correct answer.

C. Layers of sediment are pressed together

D. Liquid rock becomes solid rock

B. Rock turns to magma due to extreme heat

A. Rock breaks down by wind, water, ice

Matching: Metamorphism- Match Metamorphism to the correct answer.

Rock changes by heat and pressure, but does not melt

A sedimentary rock could become a metamorphic rock by:

being subjected to heat and pressure

forming from lava at the surface

An igneous rock can become a sedimentary rock through which process?

By weathering, erosion, and compaction

By direct crystallization from magma

The rock cycle is considered a cycle and not a straight line because:

it repeats and rocks can change from one type to another in any order.

it only moves in one direction without repeating.

rocks never change their form once created.

it has a clear beginning and end with no repetition.

Describe how a metamorphic rock could become a different rock and then turn back into a metamorphic rock.

A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock by melting, then return to a metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.

A metamorphic rock can turn into a fossil by being buried, then return to a metamorphic rock through crystallization.

A metamorphic rock can change into a volcanic rock by cooling, then revert to a metamorphic rock through sedimentation.

A metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock by weathering, then return to a metamorphic rock through erosion.

Describe how metamorphic rock can turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic rock.

Metamorphic rock turns into sedimentary rock through weathering and erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation and then is buried deep underground where it goes back to metamorphic rock through heat and pressure.

Metamorphic rock becomes sedimentary rock through volcanic activity.

Metamorphic rock changes to sedimentary rock through crystallization.

Sedimentary rock transforms into metamorphic rock via cooling and solidification.

Explain Extrusive Igneous rock characteristics

Extrusive igneous rocks are characterized by rapid cooling, fine-grained textures, and often a glassy appearance. They are cooled on earths surface.

They have coarse-grained textures due to slow cooling.

Extrusive igneous rocks are formed deep underground.

Extrusive igneous rocks are primarily composed of sedimentary materials cooling on the earth's surface.

Explain Intrusive Igneous rock characteristics

Intrusive igneous rocks are coarse-grained, formed from slow cooling of magma, and often light-colored. This occurs deep underground

Intrusive igneous rocks are fine-grained and formed from rapid cooling of lava on earth's surface.

They are typically dark-colored and have a glassy texture.

Intrusive igneous rocks are formed on the Earth's surface and are often porous cooling very quickly.
