What is the primary process that turns sediments into sedimentary rocks?
29Minerals within sediment, absorbing water, and undergoing a chemical reaction
Upper layers of sediment pressing on lower layers which compacts and cements them
Not here
Magma cooling under the surface of Earth, crystallizing to form rock

300s - Q2
How is igneous rock formed?
From particles forming layers.
From melted rock (magma) that cooled and hardened.
From chemical reactions of minerals
Not here
300s - Q3
Metamorphic rocks are different from igneous and sedimentary rocks because metamorphic rocks form -
by magma rising from Earth’s core.
by layering minerals of different sizes.
Not here
from existing rock that has been changed by heat and pressure.
300s - Q4
Which of the following processes is one of the early steps in the formation of sedimentary rock?
Weathering of existing rock
Not here
Melting of rock in volcanoes
Crystallization of molten minerals
300s - Q5
Igneous rocks can be changed into sedimentary rocks when they –
melt to form layers of different minerals.
undergo extreme heat and pressure.
Not here
are weathered and the pieces are eroded, deposited, and cemented.
300s - Q6
Sedimentary rock can be changed into igneous rock if it is first –
deposited.
not here
melted.
weathered.
300s - Q7
Sedimentary rocks often contain horizontal layers because they are formed by the -

cooling of melted rock.
deposition of sediment.
movement of tectonic plates.
300s - Q8
Which of the following is a summary of the rock cycle?
Not here
Only sedimentary rock has the ability to become metamorphic rock due to pressure.
Every rock can become any other type of rock, depending on the processes that happen to it.
Magma becomes igneous rock when it is erupted from a volcano which causes new crustal material to form.
