• metamorphic rock
• igneous rock

The Starburst were melted on the hot plate. What was that supposed to represent?

Which choice best describes the rock cycle?

• process where rocks start as metamorphic, then become igneous, and then end up as sedimentary rocks.
• process where rocks change from one type to another through various Earth’s processes
• process where weathering and erosion break sediment down and carry it to another place

What is crystallization?

• igneous rock melts into magma
• sedimentary changes to metamorphic
• solidification of igneous rock

What is deposition?

• sediments are carried from one place to another
• rocks are broken into pieces called sediments
• sediments stop moving and settle into layers at the bottom of rivers, lakes, or oceans

What do scientists call the rock that is formed when rock cools quickly on the Earth's surface?

• extrusive igneous rock
• intrusive igneous rock
• volcanic igneous rock

Which would be a good example of weathering?

• a cliff is slowly worn down over time by the rain and wind
• dirt in a river is carried down to the mouth of the river
• tectonic plates collide forming a mountain range

Which two words have to do with the formation of igneous rock?

• heat and pressure
• compaction and cementation
• melting and cooling

Which choice best shows erosion?

• a rock breaks apart due to extreme temperature changes
• rocks roll down a mountainside in an landslide
• dirt settles at the bottom of a lake
