Which process is responsible for the transformation of one type of rock into another?

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Metamorphism

• Deposition

What process can change sediments into rock?

• Weathering and erosion

• Melting and cooling

• Metamorphism

• Deposition and compaction

How can an igneous rock change to a metamorphic rock?

• By weathering and erosion

• By heat and pressure

• By cooling and crystallizing

• By compacting and cementing

If Earth's interior was cool, how would this change the types of rocks formed on Earth?

• More igneous rocks

• More sedimentary rocks

• More metamorphic rocks

• No change in rock types

What are the main processes involved in the rock cycle?

• Melting and cooling, erosion and sedimentation, and metamorphism

• Weathering and erosion, deposition and compaction, and crystallization

• Heat and pressure, evaporation and condensation, and erosion

• Deposition and compaction, crystallization and evaporation, and heat and pressure
