Sedimentary Rock
Sedimentary Rock
What kind of rock is formed from liquid rock?
Igneous Rock
What kind of rock is formed from heat and pressure deep underground?
Metamorphic rock
Sediment forms when any type of rock is weathered, a process driven by energy from the _______.
Sun
At what rate do most rock transformation processes happen? (suddenly or gradually)
Gradually-
Most rock transformation processes happen very slowly
What process causes sediment to turn into sedimentary rock?
Compaction and cementation
What process turns magma into igneous rock?
Cooling
___________ moves rock down, below Earth’s outer layer.
Subduction
Magma forms when any type of rock is melted, a process driven by energy from ___________.
Earth's interior
Why are sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rock different types of rock?
A- different types because they formed in different ways
B- different types because they formed in different places
A- different types because they formed in different ways
What process forms sediment?
Weathering
What process forms magma?
Melting
________ moves rock upward toward Earth’s surface.
Uplift
Matter gets transformed by energy, but the same ___________ is still present.
What type of boundary would cause two rock formations to move closer to each other over time?
A convergent boundary
Where does sedimentary rock form?
On Earth's surface
Where does igneous rock form?
Earth's interior and surface
Uplift and subduction can expose rock formations to different energy sources, which can __________ them.
Transform
True or False: When rocks are exposed to different energy sources, they can become different types of rocks.
True
Weathering and erosion are both caused by ______ and ______.
Flowing/moving water and wind
What energy source leads to the formation of sedimentary rock?
Energy from the sun
What energy source drives the formation of igneous rock?
Energy from the Earth's interior
True or False: Plate motion causes the transformation and movement of rock formations.
True
True or False: Energy from the Sun causes both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rock to form.
False
What are two differences between metamorphic rock and the two other rock types?
Possible responses:
- Metamorphic rock transforms without melting
- Metamorphic rock only forms under the Earth's surface
