KEY CONCEPTSSort the statements under the correct heading (5 of each). magma occurs under the Earth's surface melting of rock driven by energy from the Earth's interior cools to create igneous rock will be driven towards the surface by pressure sediment create through weathering occurs on the Earth's surface driven by energy from the Sun compacts and cements to create sedimentary rock will be moved through erosion FROM OUR READINGWhat type of rock makes up Devil's Tower? sedimentary igneous metamorphic What type of rock can be found AROUND Devil's Tower? sedimentary igneous metamorhpic TRUE OR FALSEAny rock can be weathered to create sediment. true false When energy transforms matter, it becomes a different type of matter. true false Any type of rock can be melted to create magma. true false What would have to happen for igneous rock to become sediment? It would need to be exposed to energy from the Sun. It would need to be exposed to energy from the Earth's interior. What would have to happen for sedimentary rock to become magma? It would need to be exposed to energy from the Sun. It would need to be exposed to energy from the Earth's interior. Does it matter WHERE a rock was created? Is the "place" a rock was made relevant to the type of rock it is? yes no
