• igneous

• sedimentary

• metamorphic

When sediments erode and then become compacted or cemented, what type of rock forms?

• igneous

Which option illustrates the importance of the principle of conservation of matter in the rock cycle?

• rocks and minerals are created throughout the rock cycle but are never destroyed

• rocks and minerals are destroyed throughout the rock cycle, changing them, but are never created

• the chemical elements that make up rocks and minerals are created and destroyed throughout the rock cycle

• the chemical elements that make up minerals and rocks aren't destroyed or created, they are redistributed in other forms

Which of the following terms refers to the process in which rock is broken apart by water, wind, ice, acid, or other means?

• compaction

• cementation

• weathering

• erosion

T/F: Any rock can change into any of the three major rock types in the rock cycle.

• True; the processes of weathering, erosion, compaction, cementation, heat and pressure, melting, and cooling can all change forms of rocks

• false; only under certain circumstances can rocks change forms, and only certain rocks can become others (ex: sedimentary can't become metamorphic)
