• Volcanic, earthquake, landslide

• Hard, soft, medium

What are the three main stages of the rock cycle?

• Granite, Limestone, Sandstone

• Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic

• Volcanic, Sedentary, Metamorphosis

• Magma, Erosion, Fossilization

Explain the process of the rock cycle.

• The rock cycle involves the formation of only one type of rock

• The rock cycle involves the formation of clouds and rain

• The rock cycle involves the formation of living organisms

• The rock cycle involves three main processes: igneous rock formation, sedimentary rock formation, and metamorphic rock formation.

How does weathering differ from erosion?

• Weathering breaks down rocks and soil, while erosion moves the broken down material to a different location.

• Weathering only affects soil, while erosion only affects rocks

• Weathering and erosion are the same process

• Weathering and erosion both involve the movement of material

How are igneous rocks formed?

• From the solidification of molten rock material

• From the cooling of hot springs

• From the compression of sediment

• From the evaporation of water

What are the effects of weathering on rocks?

• Weathering has no effect on rocks

• Weathering causes rocks to multiply

• Weathering can cause rocks to break down and change in composition.

• Weathering turns rocks into gold

Explain the concept of soil erosion.

• Soil erosion is the process by which soil is removed from its original location by wind, water, or other natural forces.

• Soil erosion is caused by human activities and has no natural causes.

• Soil erosion is the process of soil staying in its original location without any movement.

• Soil erosion is the process of adding soil to a location by natural forces.

What are the different layers of the Earth?

• soil, magma, atmosphere, lithosphere

• crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core

• mantle, outer crust, inner crust, atmosphere

• crust, core, atmosphere, lithosphere

Which layer of the Earth is the thickest?

• Outer core

• Mantle

• Inner core
