Understanding The Rock Cycle
Watch this video to learn the Rock Cycle. 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 compacted and cemented together? Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary Mineral shells What happens to a rock when heat and pressure were added? the individual pieces could no longer be seen the fragments melted but you could still see some parts of the original composition it formed together in one large black mass 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 Water Cycle Weathering Cycle Rock Cycle Which type of Rock can contain Fossils? Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary Rock Cycle Fill in the Blanks Use the following words: metamorphic rock, igneous rock, sedimentary rock, sediment, and magma to fill in the blanks. Use the spelling exactly as it appears here (lowercase). magma sediment sedimentary rock metamorphic rock igneous rock Match the Rock Type to the process that forms it. Metamorphic Heat and Pressure Sediment Weathering and Erosion Sedimentary Pressure and Cementation Igneous Melting and Cooling Match each Vocabulary Term to its correct definition. Abrasion Grinding down of rock and sand particles by friction from water, wind, or ice. Deposition Locating sediments into a new location. Organic Living or Alive at one time. Strata Layers of Rock. Composition Chemical makeup of a Rock. Texture Size, Shape, and Positions of the grains that makeup a Rock.
