Rocking Around the World:

What was the main goal of Ms. Etienne and Mr. Jaua's adventure? To explore different countries

• To explore different countries

• To find the most magnificent rock for the annual school science fair

• To learn about different cultures

• To climb the highest mountains

Which type of rock did Ms. Etienne find in the Viñales Valley in Cuba?

• Granite

• Sandstone

• Marble

• Basalt

What process did Mr. Jaua describe that turns sediments into sedimentary rock?

• Compaction and cementation

• Melting and cooling

• Weathering and erosion

• Heat and pressure

In Venezuela, what type of rock did Ms. Etienne and Mr. Jaua find that had undergone metamorphism?

• Basalt

• Granite

• Marble

• Conglomerate

What type of igneous rock did Mr. Jaua find in Haiti?

• Sandstone

• Granite

• Marble

• Basalt

What is the correct sequence of the rock cycle as described by Ms. Etienne and Mr. Jaua?

• Igneous becomes sediment through weathering, sedimentary through compaction, and metamorphic through heat and pressure

• Sedimentary becomes igneous through melting, metamorphic through weathering, and igneous through compaction

• Metamorphic becomes sedimentary through heat and pressure, igneous through weathering, and sediment through melting

• Igneous becomes metamorphic through compaction, sedimentary through heat and pressure, and sediment through cooling

Match each rock with its process

• Melting

• Metamorphic

• Cooling down of Magma or Lava

• Magma

• Weathering and erosion

• Sediments

• Heat and pressure

• Sedimentary

• Compaction and cementation

• Igneous

Identify the rocks mentioned in the story and classify them into the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. List each rock under the correct category.

Groups:

(a) Igneous

,

(b) Metamorphic

,

(c) Sedimentary

• Granite

• Conglomerate

• Marble

• Basalt

Arrange the stages above in the correct order to accurately show the rock cycle. Use your knowledge of the processes involved to guide you.

• Sediments are transported by wind or water and collect in layers. Over time, the layers are compacted and cemented together, forming sedimentary rock.

• Deep underground, molten rock cools slowly, forming crystals as it hardens into intrusive igneous rock. If exposed to weathering and erosion, this rock breaks down into smaller sediments.

• If metamorphic rock is subjected to even more heat, it can melt into magma. When this magma cools and solidifies, it forms new igneous rock, continuing the cycle.

• When sedimentary rock is buried deep beneath the Earth’s surface, it is exposed to intense heat and pressure. This causes the rock to change, becoming a metamorphic rock with new minerals and textures.

who rushed over to tell Ms. Etienne and Mr. Jaua about the situation back at the lab, and what was happening there?

• Mr. Haze, who was excited to join their adventure.

• Mr. Knighton, who warned them about Mr. Haze causing a science disaster.

• Ms. Garcia, who realized they were late for the science fair.

• Mr. Tamargo, who remembered they forgot their equipment.
