Rock Cycle CFA Review

What are the three main types of rocks?

• Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic
• Granite, Marble, Limestone
• Volcanic, Oceanic, Continental
• Magma, Lava, Sediment

Which type of rock is formed from cooled magma or lava?

• Igneous
• Sedimentary
• Metamorphic
• Volcanic

What is an example of an igneous rock?

• Slate
• Marble
• Granite
• Limestone

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• From cooled magma or lava
• By extreme heat and pressure
• From layers of sediment compressed over time
• By weathering and erosion

What can cause sediments to compress into rock?

• Extreme heat and pressure
• Melting and cooling
• Weathering and erosion
• Volcanic activity

What happens to rocks during a volcanic eruption?

• They break down into smaller pieces
• They transform into metamorphic rocks
• They melt into magma
• They cool and solidify

Which type of rock is formed under extreme heat and pressure, but not enough to melt the rock?

• Igneous
• Sedimentary
• Metamorphic
• Volcanic

What can transform igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?

• Extreme heat and pressure
• Weathering and erosion
• Melting and cooling
• Volcanic activity

What can transform sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?

• Extreme heat and pressure
• Weathering and erosion
• Melting and cooling
• Volcanic activity

What can transform metamorphic rocks into igneous rocks?

• Extreme heat and pressure
• Weathering and erosion
• Melting and cooling
• Volcanic activity
