The Nile river carries sediments to the

ocean. Over time, the sediments are

compressed as more sediments are

deposited on top of them. Which type of

rock will be formed?

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

In the Arizona desert, a sudden

rainstorm washes sand and sediment into

the Colorado river, which eventually

deposits the sediments into the ocean.

This process is called:

• Deposition

• Erosion & Transport

• Weathering

The volcano Kilauea on the big island

of Hawai’i is erupting and lava is ejected

from the volcano vent. The lava solidifies

to form what type of rock?

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

• Igneous

In the desert, wind picks up and carries

fine particles of sand and dirt. As the

wind blows against the rocks, the

particles rub against the rocks and wear

them down in a process called:

• Transport

• Erosion

• Weathering
