Two rocks are being studied.
Rock A formed from small pieces of rock in a different place.
Rock B formed from liquid rock.
Rocks A and B formed at about the same time
Are rocks A and B the same or different types of rock? Pick the BEST answer.
How can a rock formation turn into sand?
How does metamorphic rock form?
What energy source creates magma?
True or False: The rock cycle would work without energy.
Could a metamorphic rock have been a sedimentary rock at one point?
How can you tell if a rock is a sedimentary rock?
Geologists found a piece of obsidian on the ground after a volcanic eruption. This is an example of a…
Tiny pieces of rock 🪨 flow from a river into a lake and stay in the lake. This is an example of…
Subduction pushes igneous rocks up to the surface so they can be weathered into sediment.
Choose the correct explanations of how EACH energy source can transform one rock into different rock.
Select only 3.
How can a sedimentary rock change into a metamorphic rock at a plate boundary?
Choose the correct explanation for how the location affects the rate of cooling and appearance of an intrusive and extrusive igneous rock.
Giovanni went on a vacation with his family to the Rocky Mountains. While they were there a huge rain storm happened and it created a mudslide!
The mudslide caused rock, water, and mud go running down the mountain.
It changed how the mountain looked - a big chunk was missing!
The rain caused the mountain to break into smaller rocks.
What happened that represents weathering?
Giovanni went on a vacation with his family to the Rocky Mountains. While they were there a huge rain storm happened and it created a mudslide!
The mudslide made rock, water, and mud come running down the mountain.
It changed how the mountain looked- a big chunk was missing!
The rain caused the mountain to break into smaller rocks.
What happened that represents erosion?

Use the situation to explain the difference weathering and erosion.
Use the rock cycle (pg. 37) to create a model of magma turning into a metamorphic rock. (10 points)
Start as magma
End with a metamorphic rock
