The Rock cycle video

What are the three primary types of rocks discussed in geology?

• Volcanic, Plutonic, and Sedimentary

• Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic

• Crystalline, Fragmental, and Organic

• Extrusive, Intrusive, and Metamorphic

How is igneous rock primarily formed?

• Through the compaction and cementation of sediments

• From the cooling and solidification of molten magma or lava

• By the weathering and erosion of existing rocks

• Undergoing intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth

What geological processes lead to the formation of metamorphic rock?

• Cooling of magma and lava

• Weathering and lithification of sediments

• Subjection to high heat and pressure

• Erosion and deposition in ocean basins
