The process by which water, wind, ice, and changes in temperature break down rock into fragments called sediments. Deposition Erosion Weathering Igneous rock Rock that forms when sediment gets compacted and cemented together. Sedimentary Rock Metamorphic Rock Igneous Rock Sediment Rock that forms when heat and pressure change existing rock. Sedimentary Rock Metamorphic Rock Igneous Rock Rock cycle The process by which metamorphic rocks are formed: heat and pressure Compaction and cementation melted rock then cooling _____________ rock forms from magma / lava. Metamorphic Sedimentary Igneous Rock cycle The process by which sediment is moved from one place to another. Can be caused by water, wind, ice, and gravity. Rock Cycle Uplift Deposition Erosion What type of rock can likely contain fossils? Sedimentary Metamorphic Igneous What kind of rock starts as molten magma? Sedimentary Metamorphic Igneous After lots of time, pressure, and heat, what kind of rock will you get? Sedimentary Metamorphic Igneous Rock that was molten lava that cooled quickly when it came out of the volcano is called ...... Sedimentary Rock Extrusive Igneous Rock Intrusive Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock When magma cools and solidifies (crystallizes) insideEarth it is called Sedimentary Rock Extrusive Igneous Rock Intrusive Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock The process by which sedimentary rocks are formed... heat and pressure compaction and cementation melted lava rock Incorrect option The process by which overlying pressure from rocks and soil reduce the size and volume of sediments is..... compaction cementation weathering erosion What is the outermost compositional layer of Earth? core mantle crust upper liquid layer Which layer is made of solid iron & nickel? inner core outer core crust mantle What is the outer core made of? solid rock solid metal melted rock melted metal Which layer is the hottest? (heat source) inner core outer core mantle crust Which layer causes the Earth's magnetic field due toits composition and convection currents? inner core outer core lithosphere crust Which statement is correct? As you move up through the layers, the pressure increases. As you move up and down through the layers, pressure remains the same. As you move down through the layers, the pressure increases. As you move down through the layers, the pressure decreases. What happens to temperature as you move down through the layers? it remains the same it increases, then decreases it increases it decreases |
