CFA 5- Rock Cycle Review

1. The process where rock is broken down into smaller pieces is called

• erosion
• weathering
• deposition
• compaction
• lithification

2. The process where sediment falls out of the water or wind that is carry it and settles on the ground is called

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition
• lithification
• compaction

3. The process where rock and sediment are moved from one place to another is called

• compaction
• erosion
• weathering
• lithification
• deposition

4. The process where rock and sediment gets buried deeper and deeper until pressure makes them stick together is called

• erosion
• lithification
• weathering
• deposition
• compaction

5. The process where rock and sediment get so much pressure that all of the water is squeezed from the rock and the left over minerals "glue" the rock together is called

• compaction
• erosion
• weathering
• lithification
• deposition

8. This type of metamorphism occurs when a parent rock experiences extreme heat and is "burned" when it is next to magma or lava.

• contact metamorphism
• regional metamorphism

9. This type of metamorphism occurs when a parent rock experiences extreme pressure as it is pushed down deep into earth's crust when plates collide.

• contact metamorphism
• regional metamorphism

10. How are parent rocks changed when they morph into another rock?

• their minerals are broken into smaller pieces and then pressed back together in a different way
• their minerals are moved and rearranged when the undergo extreme heat and pressure
• their minerals get "glued" together in different patterns with the extreme heat

13. There are two sources of energy the cause the cycle of rock material on our planet. What are those two energy sources?

• sun and wind
• weather and gravity
• sun and Earth's core
• gravity and wind

17. Which type of rock is shown below (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic)? Explain how you know.
