Name the steps to create sedimentary rock from any rock.
1. Weathering
2. Erosion
3. Compaction/Cementation
500
Which type of igneous rock will typically have LARGER crystal formations and why?
Intrusive Igneous Rock because it takes magma longer to cool underground.
500
What is the difference between magma and lava?
Magma is found underground while lave is found above ground.
500
Which model (A or B) best represents the Rock Cycle? Why?
Model A, because it shows the multiple paths of the rock cycle and not just one direction.
