Question
Answer
Type of rock that forms when molten magma from within Earth cools and solidifies   igneous rock  
🗑
Magma that reaches Earth's surface is called ____.   lava  
🗑
Type of rock that forms when particles of rock and other materials are compacted and cemented together.   sedimentary rock  
🗑
Type of rock that forms when heat and great pressure beneath Earth's surface is applied to igneous or sedimentary rock.   metamorphic rock  
🗑
"metamorphic" means   a change of form  
🗑
Rocks are classified as metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous based on ___________.   how they were formed  
🗑
Geologists study   the physical conditions of the Earth, such as the temperature of material in its interior  
🗑
Over millions of years, the three different kinds of rock continuously change from one kind into another in this process called the ___________.   rock cycle  
🗑
Could this statement be true? Igneous rock is eroded to form metamorphic rock.   No. If igneous rock eroded, it would then form sedimentary rock (not metamorphic rock).  
🗑
Could this statement be true? Metamorphic rock melts to form sedimentary rock.   No. If metamorphic rock melted, it would then form igneous rock (and not sedimentary rock).  
🗑
Could this statement be true? Igneous rock is heated and squeezed to form metamorphic rock.   Yes. Any sedimentary or igneous rock that is heated and squeezed can turn into metamorphic rock.  
🗑
What type of rock is formed when broken pieces of any kind of rock are deposited into layers and cemented together?   sedimentary rock  
🗑
Erosion and deposition on Earth's surface forms what kind of rock?   sedimentary rock  
🗑
Magma cooling beneath Earth's surface or lava cooling on Earth's surface forms what kind of rock?   igneous rock  
🗑
Heat and pressure beneath Earth's surface form what kind of rock?   metamorphic rock  
🗑
When heat and pressure change the minerals in a rock, what kind of rock is formed?   metamorphic rock  
🗑
When lava cools on Earth's surface, what kind of igneous rock is formed?   extrusive igneous rock  
🗑
When magma cools beneath Earth's surface, what kind of igneous rock is formed?   intrusive igneous rock  
🗑
The innermost layer of the Earth is called the   inner core  
🗑
The uppermost part of the mantle is part of Earth's ______________.   lithosphere  
🗑
Rocks produced when pieces of other rocks, plant and animal matter, or dissolved minerals collect to form rock layers are called   sedimentary rock  
🗑
What type of rock can melt to form magma?   any type, sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic  
🗑
What kind of rock can weather and erode to form sediment?   any type, sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic  
🗑
When __________ compacts and cements, sedimentary rock forms.   sediment  
🗑
