Rock Transformation Review

How is a metamorphic rock formed?

• Rocks don’t form; they stay as they are.

• by melting and cooling

• by being broken into sediment and then compacted.

• by being heated and put under pressure.

What step in the rock transformation process occurs after rock has been weathered and eroded?

• compaction and cementation

• subduction

• melting

• cooling

You have 2 rocks formed at the same time. One rock was formed from small pieces of rock and the other was formed from liquid rock in a different place. Would these rocks be the same or different types of rock? Why?

• the same type because they are both formed from rock material.

• the same type because they formed at the same time

• different types because they formed in different ways

• different types because they formed in different places

Energy from the sun causes rocks to be weathered and broken into smaller pieces called

• magma.

• rocks.

• pebbles.

• sediment.
