Rock Cycle
a) A series of processes on Earth’s surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another.
b) Metamorphic rocks that have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands.
c) The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together.
d) The process in which sediments are pressed together.

Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rock
a) Metamorphic rocks that have their grains arranged in parallel layers or bands.
b) A series of processes on Earth’s surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another.
c) The mineral grains in these rocks are arranged randomly rather than in parallel bands.
d) Sedimentary rocks which are made from the remains of plants or animals.

Organic Sedimentary Rock
a) Sedimentary rocks which are made when fragments from broken rocks are squeezed together.
b) Sedimentary rocks which are made when minerals that are dissolved in a solution crystallize.
c) Rocks formed from the cooling of magma or lava.
d) Sedimentary rocks which are made from the remains of plants or animals.

Deposition
a) When running water, wind, or ice loosens and carrys away fragments of rock.
b) The process by which sediment settles out of the water or the wind carrying it.
c) The process in which sediments are pressed together.
d) The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together.

Compaction
a) The process by which sediment settles out of the water or the wind carrying it.
b) When running water, wind, or ice loosens and carrys away fragments of rock.
c) The process in which sediments are pressed together.
d) The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together.

Cementation
a) When running water, wind, or ice loosens and carrys away fragments of rock.
b) The process by which sediment settles out of the water or the wind carrying it.
c) The process in which sediments are pressed together.
d) The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together.

Erosion
a) When running water, wind, or ice loosens and carrys away fragments of rock.
b) The process by which sediment settles out of the water or the wind carrying it.
c) The process in which sediments are pressed together.
d) The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together.

Extrusive Igneous Rocks
a) Igneous rocks made of lava on top of earth’s surface. They cool rapidly and have small crystals.
b) Igneous rocks made of magma deep inside earth. They cool very slowly and, therefore, have larger crystals
c)
d)

Intrusive Igneous Rocks
a) Igneous rocks made of lava on top of earth’s surface. They cool rapidly and have small crystals.
b) Igneous rocks made of magma deep inside earth. They cool very slowly and, therefore, have larger crystals.
c)
d)

origin
a) What rocks are made of.
b) The name for the texture of rocks.
c) Where rocks come from.
d)
