4.1 KCB Rocks & the Rock Cycle

Discover the rock cycle and rock types!

Watch the following video and then answer the questions below. What happens to rock that is weathered at the Earth's surface? it becomes metamorphic rock it changes to igneous rock it breaks down to sediment it is gone forever Which type of rock is formed when sediments are glued and pressed together? igneous metamorphic sedimentary mineral shells What type of rock is formed by the processes of heat and pressure added to rock? sedimentary igneous metamorphic mineral shells The liquid rock found inside the Earth is known as - magma metamorphic rock lava super rock What processes are needed to form igneous rock? heat and pressure freezing and thawing erosion and weathering melting and cooling Rocks change forms repeatedly in a process known as the _. metamorphosis condensation weathering cycle rock cycle Sort the following descriptions into the proper rock classification. Igneous rock forms from lava forms when crystals in magma are created formed from magma forms when molten rock cools and crytallizes Sedimentary rock forms from dissolved minerals that crystallize between grains forms when sediment is compacted forms from the layering of eroded rock limestone is an example results from cementation of sediment forms when sediment is transported and then compressed Metamorphic rock marble is an example gneiss is an example what preexisting rock becomes Use the diagram to complete each statement below. 1. When temperature and pressure are applied to sedimentary and igneous rock, metamorphic rocks are formed.2. When magma cools and crystallizes, igneous rocks are formed.3. When sediment is deposited, compacted and cemented, sedimentary rocks are formed.4. When metamorphic rocks are uplifted, the forces of weathering and erosion can work on them.5. When metamorphic rock melts, magma is created.6. Rocks become sediments by the process of weathering and erosion.
