Which of these actions must take place in order for sedimentary rock to change into igneous rock ?

• The sedimentary rock melted and became magma.

• Sedimentary minerals dissolved in water to form igneous rock

• The sedimentary rock broke down into smaller pieces and then was melted into igneous rock

• The sedimentary rock was exposed to extreme heat and pressure.

When magma hardens, it turns into what kind of rock?

• igneous

• metamorphic

• sedimentary

• lava

The rock cycle is a visual illustrations that helps us understand how different types of rock form. Which of the following is true about the rock cycle

• weathering only occurs in metamorphic rock

• the rock cycle is always predictable

• It stops after igneous rock forms

• It involves weathering, heating, pressure, and cooling.

The forces that create metamorphic rock are related to which of the following?

• The breaking of rock into smaller particles over long periods of time

• extreme heat and pressures

• The cooling of magma above Earth’s surface after a volcanic eruption

• The transportation of Earth materials by moving water

Which of the following processes allow sedimentary rocks to be produced?

• melting

• Compaction and cementing

• extreme heat and pressure

• melting so that magma can be produced
