the rock cycle

Igneous rocks are found near __________ and _________.

volcanoes or fissures

What process/term belongs in the box to complete the Rock Cycle? (metamorphic--->sediments)

weathering & erosion

By what process are sedimentary rocks broken down

weathering and erosion

What are the three types of rocks in the Rock Cycle?

Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic

What term in the box correctly completes the diagram? after igneous, before sediments

Sediments

What processes are involved in the formation and classification of metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks?

Compaction & cementation, weathering & erosion, heat & pressure, cooling and hardening, melting

________ _________ happens on the Earth's surface as lava cools forming _______ ___________.

Fast cooling, small crystals

What is the fourth step in a sedimentary rock becoming an igneous rock?

Lava forms igneous rock

What scientific law is illustrated in the rock cycle?

Law of Conservation of Matter

What term in the box correctly completes the diagram? after metamorphic, before igneous

Magma

What is the third step in a sedimentary rock becoming an igneous rock?

Magma moves toward the surface and becomes lava.

What is the second step in a sedimentary rock becoming an igneous rock?

Metamorphic rock gets pulled under the crust and melts into magma.

How is sedimentary rock formed?

Sediment combines and solidifies. Then more sediment comes and solidifies on top of the previous layer.

Formed when sediments accumulate and compact and cement together.
