The temp. inside Earth is cooler which allows metamorphic rocks to form more quickly Small pieces of rocks are buried, squeezed, and cemented together. Weathering and erosion cause rocks to break down to form metamorphic rocks. The deeper into Earth’s crust, the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks 3 / 20 What is the size of crystals found in extrusive igneous rocks? fine-sized or no crystals entirely made up of crystals large-sized crystals different-sized crystals 4 / 20 Sedimentary rocks formed by organisms or the remains of organisms mountain chemical biochemical clastic 5 / 20 Which type of rocks are formed from lava? Intrusive igneous rocks Sedimentary rocks Extrusive igneous rocks Metamorphic rocks 6 / 20 Where are the igneous rocks formed? in oceans in areas of earthquake activity in deserts in areas of volcanic activity 7 / 20 Rock that forms when molten rock cools Metamorphic Igneous Limestone Sedimentary 8 / 20 Which sediment size is deposited first when wind, water, or glaciers slow down? the lightest sediment is deposited first the heaviest sediment is deposited first sediments with all sizes deposit at the same time the size of sediment doesn't affect its deposition 9 / 20 Sedimentary rocks made up of broken pieces of minerals and rocks Intrusive Extrusive Clastic Biochemical 10 / 20 Rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together Sedimentary Metamorphic Obsidian Igneous 11 / 20 Sedimentary rocks are changed to sediments by ____. weathering and erosion compaction cementation heat and pressure 12 / 20 How are sedimentary rocks formed? Sedimentary rocks are the result of weathering and breaking the mountain into smaller pieces. Sedimentary rocks are formed as a result of chemical reactions between minerals. Sedimentary rocks are the result of the accumulation of sediment deposits as layers. Sedimentary rocks are the result of the crystallization of molten rocks. 13 / 20 ................. is the process that creates rock from sediments.
