Rock Cycle Quiz

Master the Rock Cycle! Quiz on igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

Click on the blanks and choose the word that best completes each sentence. Sediments are deposited in layers. Sediments are compacted, or pressed down, and cemented, or stuck together. Sedimentary rock forms. A volcano erupts, magma, or melted rock, flows onto Earth's surface as lava. Lava cools and hardens. Igneous rock forms. A rock deep beneath Earth's surface is changed over time by heat and pressure. Metamorphic rock forms. Click on the blank boxes and choose the appropriate information for each rock type. Igneous Rock Sedimentary Rock Metamorphic Rock formed through the cooling of magma. Can be intrusive or extrusive. formed through sediment layering and compacting. formed by extreme heat and pressure deep over time. These rocks can be foliated. Click on each dot and type the appropriate label in the box to complete the Rock Cycle.
