Sedimentary Rock
Sedimentary Rock
What kind of rock is formed from liquid rock?
Igneous Rock
Where does weathering occur?
On Earth's surface
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?
Sediment is compacted and cemented
What process turns magma into igneous rock?
Cooling
Where does melting of rock occur?
In the mantle
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
What is a type of "weathering?"
Rain
Snow
Wind
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 the surface of the Earth
Where does igneous rock form?
In the mantle
What is in water that helps rock "cement?"
Minerals
Rocks can form in different ways when exposed to different energy sources. This causes them to be __________ types.
Different
True or False: Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock
True
What energy source leads to the formation of sedimentary rock?
Energy from the Sun (it moves wind and water around Earth)
What energy source drives the formation of igneous rock?
The heat from the Earth's interior
What kind of candy did we crush, compact and try to mimic making sedimentary rock?
Jolly Ranchers
True or False: Any type of rock can transform into any type of rock if exposed to right energy source (Sun, Heat from the Earth's Interior, Heat and Pressure)
True
The process of rock breaking down into smaller pieces due to wind or moving water
Weathering
