Understanding the Rock Cycle

Explore the amazing rock cycle! Learn how rocks transform through heat, pressure, and weathering.

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 happen 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 magma metamorphic rock igneous rock sedimentary rock sediment Match the rock type to the processes that form the rock. Metamorphic Heat and pressure Sediment Weathering and erosion Igneous Melting and cooling Sedimentary Pressure and cementation Rocks change forms repeatedly in a process known as the _. metamorphosis condensation weathering cycle rock cycle
