Metamorphic rock formations are caused by what processes?

• Weathering, Erosion, Compaction, Cementation

• Heat, Cooling

• Pressure, Heat

• Uplift, Subduction(Plate Motion)

Can a sedimentary/igneous/metamorphic rock transform into a different rock type?

• Yes

• No

Sedimentary rock formations are caused by what processes?

• Weathering, Erosion, Compaction, Cementation

• Heat, Cooling

• Pressure, Heat

• Uplift, Subduction(Plate Motion)

Igneous rock formations are caused by what processes?

• Weathering, Erosion, Compaction, Cementation

• Heat, Cooling

• Pressure, Heat

• Uplift, Subduction(Plate Motion)

At what temperature does a rock melt at?

• All Rock Hotter Than 1200°C

• All Rock Cooler Than 600°C

At what temperature is a rock a solid?

• All Rock Hotter Than 1200°C

• All Rock Cooler Than 600°C

How does subduction(a form/type of plate motion) affect rock formations/layers?

• Subduction causes rock layers/formations to become exposed to the energy of the sun.

• Subduction causes rock layers/formations to become exposed to the energy of the Earth's interior.

How does uplift(a form/type of plate motion) affect rock formations/layers?

• Uplift causes rock layers/formations to become exposed to the energy of the sun.

• Uplift causes rock layers/formations to become exposed to the energy of the Earth's interior.

Does rock on all planets melt and cool around the same ranges of temperatures?

• Yes

• No

What is igneous rock called when it is located beneath Earth's outer layer?

• Intrusive Igneous Rock

• Extrusive Igneous Rock
