Rock cycle

What are the three different types of rocks mentioned?

• Granite, Marble, Quartz

• Basalt, Limestone, Slate

• Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic

• Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald

How do igneous rocks form?

• Through weathering and erosion

• Under intense heat and pressure

• By melting and hardening of magma

• From sediment compaction

What process transforms rocks into sedimentary rocks?

• Sublimation

• Metamorphosis

• Weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation

• Melting and cooling

At what temperatures does metamorphosis usually occur?

• 800 to 1500 degrees Celsius

• 100 to 200 degrees Celsius

• 0 to 100 degrees Celsius

• 300 to 700 degrees Celsius

Which rocks can become igneous rocks?

• Only sedimentary rocks

• Only metamorphic rocks

• Both sedimentary and metamorphic rocks

• Only igneous rocks

What causes sediments to bind together to form sedimentary rocks?

• Melting

• Freezing

• Compaction and cementation

• Subduction

What is the main factor that causes metamorphic rocks to form?

• Erosion by wind

• Intense heat and pressure

• Cooling of magma

• Deposition of sediments
