Dr. Laszlo and his colleague Dr. Obasi are studying two different rock samples of different types of rock. How could energy have played a role in the different rock types forming?
Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. Energy inside Earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rock to weather into small pieces of rock.

A mining company uses technology to study rock deep in Earth. They find evidence of an igneous rock formation underneath Earth’s outer layer. Is it possible that material from this rock formation could ever form sedimentary rock on Earth’s surface?
Yes, if igneous rock is moved to Earth’s surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.

Dr. Bayul studies rock formations all over the world. She is working on a study of two rock formations. The information from the study is as follows: Rock A formed from liquid rock. Rock B formed from small pieces of rock in a different place. Rocks A and B formed at about the same time. Are Rocks A and B the same or different types of rock? The rocks are...
