How do weathering and erosion affect the rock cycle?

Erosion only affects the appearance of rocks but does not impact the rock cycle.

Weathering and erosion have no connection to the rock cycle.

Weathering creates new rocks directly without affecting the rock cycle.

Weathering breaks down rocks into sediments, which can be compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks. These rocks can then undergo metamorphism to become metamorphic rocks or melt to form magma for igneous rocks, completing the rock cycle.

What is the process of compaction and cementation in sedimentary rock formation?

Compaction is the process of breaking down sediments into smaller particles. Cementation involves the growth of plant roots in the sediments.

Compaction involves heating sediments to high temperatures. Cementation is the process of erosion by wind and water.

Compaction refers to the melting of sediments. Cementation is the process of volcanic activity forming rocks.

Compaction involves squeezing sediments under pressure, reducing pore space. Cementation is the process where minerals precipitate in the pore spaces, binding the sediments together.

What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?

Intrusive rocks form on the surface, while extrusive rocks form beneath the Earth's surface.

Intrusive igneous rocks form beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive igneous rocks form on the Earth's surface.

Intrusive rocks are formed by volcanic eruptions, while extrusive rocks are formed by tectonic movements.

Intrusive rocks are fine-grained, while extrusive rocks are coarse-grained.
