The rock type that forms when magma cools and becomes solid is

• metamorphic

• igneous

• sedimentary

• marble

How did this sedimentary rock formed under the ground?

• The sediments were compressed and glued together below ground

• Earth's interior energy played a major role in compaction and cementation of the sediments below ground

• Magma melted and cooled below ground to create rock

• The sedimentary rock was formed above surface but later moved to below surface due to plate motion

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
