- Q1What process is represented by the letter A?Weathering and erosionHeat and pressureMelting and coolingCompaction and cementation45s
- Q2What letter (or letters) represents the process of rocks being exposed to high heat and pressure?C and DD and HBG and E45s
- Q3What letter (or letters) represent the process of weathering and erosion?A, C and IA, B and CE and GF, H and I45s
- Q4Which letter shows the melting of metamorphic rock into magma?IHGD45s
- Q5Which letter shows igneous rock melting into magma?GEFD45s
- Q6What process is represented by the letter F?Compaction and cementationCooling and solidifyingHeat and pressureMelting45s
- Q7What must happen for metamorphic rock to be turned into igneous rock?First it must melt into magma/lava, then cool and solidifyFirst it must be weathered and eroded, then exposed to heat and pressureFirst it must be weathered and eroded, then compacted and cementedFirst it must melt into magma/ lava, then be exposed to heat and pressure45s
- Q8What must happen for sediments to be turned into metamorphic rock?First they must be exposed to heat and pressure, turning into sedimentary rock. Then, the sedimentary rock must melt into magma/lava, before cooling and solidifyingFirst, they must melt into magma/ lava. Then, the magma/ lava cools and solidifies into igneous rock, before being weathered and erodedFirst they must be compacted and cemented into sedimentary rock. Then, the sedimentary rock must be exposed to heat and pressureFirst they must be weathered and eroded. Then, they must be compacted and cemented into metamorphic rock60s
- Q9Which rock transformation does this process show? Uplift - weathering and erosion - transport and deposition - sedimentation - compaction and cementationIgneous rock to metamorphic rockSedimentary rock to igneous rockMetamorphic rock to igneous rockMetamorphic rock to sedimentary rock45s
- Q10I am a molten rock particle that has cooled slowly and solidified under the Earth's surface. What am I?Igneous rockSedimentary rockCrystallisation of magma, AKA cooling and solidifyingMetamorphic rock45s
