Name: ___________________ Pd: ____ 1. As magma cools, it forms IGNEOUS rock by the process (what happens), of SOLIDIFICATION (COOLING AND CRYSTALLIZING) . 2. Igneous rocks can form SEDIMENTARY , METAMORPHIC and IGNEOUS rocks. 3. Sediments form SEDIMENTARY ROCK by the process (what happens), of DEPOSITION, BURIAL, COMPACTING, AND CEMENTING . 4. Sediments form from the process (what happens), of WEATHERING AND EROSION . 5. Sedimentary rocks can form IGNEOUS , METAMORPHIC and SEDIMENTARY rocks. 6. Which process (what happens), changes igneous rock into metamorphic rock? HEAT AND PRESSURE CHANGES IGNEOUS ROCK INTO METAMORPHIC ROCK. 7. Which process (what happens), changes sedimentary rock into igneous rock? MELTING (MAGMA) THEN SOLIDIFICATION (COOLING AND CRYSTALLIZING). 8. Which process (what happens), changes metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock? WEATHERING AND EROSION TO BECOME SEDIMENTS, THEN DEPOSITION, BURIAL, COMPACTION, AND CEMENTATION TO CHANGE FROM METAMORPHIC TO SEDIMENTARY. 9. Metamorphism involves the addition of HEAT and PRESSURE to preexisting rocks. 10. Compaction & cementation of sediments forms SEDIMENTARY rocks. 11. Subjecting sedimentary rocks to extreme heat & pressure forms METAMORPHIC rocks. 12. Solidification (COOLING AND CRYSTALLIZING) of molten materials forms IGNEOUS rocks. 13. Deposition and burial of sediments forms SEDIMENTARY rocks. 14. Deposited sediments may be particles of which types of rock? DEPOSITED SEDIMENTS CAN BE PARTICLES OR PIECES OF ANY ONE OF THE THREE TYPES OF ROCKS: IGNEOUS, SEDIMENTARY, AND/OR METAMORPHIC ROCKS. 15. Heat & Pressure acting on igneous rocks forms METAMORPHIC ROCKS . 16. Solid magma forms IGNEOUS ROCKS . 17. In order to form magma, what must happen to sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous rocks? SEDIMENTARY, METAMORPHIC AND IGNEOUS ROCKS MUST MELT IN ORDER TO BECOME MAGMA. 18. For weathering & erosion to occur, what process (what happens), will the rock usually go through first or at the same time? UPLIFT: If rocks did not get uplifted to form hills and mountains, then the processes of weathering and erosion would long ago have reduced much of the world’s landmasses to lowlying, flat plains. Weathering and erosion, transport and deposition would all effectively stop. 19. Can sedimentary rock form directly from metamorphic rock? Explain your answer. NO, METAMORPHIC ROCKS MUST BE UPLIFTED, WEATHERED, ERODED, DEPOSITION, BURIAL, AND FINALLY COMPACTION AND CEMENTATION.
