Match the following

• Evaporation

• occurs when the sun heats water up and it becomes vapor in the air.

• Infiltration

• the downward movement of water from the land surface into the soil or porous rock. Ground water begins as precipitation. Once water infiltrates the soil it can move vertically and horizontally through the soil.

• Precipitation

• is the water that runs off land back into an ocean or river.

• runoff

• condensation falling onto land in the form of rain, sleet, hail, snow, and mist. Only 10% of water evaporated falls as precipitation.

• Condensation

• the opposite of evaporation; it occurs when air cools and the vapor collects into liquid form.

What happens when magma cools during the rock cycle?

• Igneous rock is formed.

• Metamorphic rock is melted.

• Sediments form sedimentary rock.

• Metamorphic rock forms sediments.

This image shows a model of the rock cycle. At point R, rocks melt underground to form magma. Which is another process that contributes to the formation of rock at point R?

• compacting of sediments on the mountain

• cooling as the lava runs down the mountain

• weathering of the mountain from the environment

• eroding of different rocks at the base of the mountain
