Question

use the words below to label the processes in the rock cycle. weathering and erosion metamorphism sedimentation crystallization melting

Explanation:

1. The arrow from igneous rock to sediment represents the breakdown and transport of rock, which is weathering and erosion.
2. The arrow from sediment to sedimentary rock is the process of depositing and compacting sediments, called sedimentation.
3. The arrow from igneous rock to metamorphic rock is the transformation of rock under heat and pressure, known as metamorphism.
4. The arrow from metamorphic rock to magma is the process of rock turning to molten rock, which is melting.
5. The arrow from magma to igneous rock is the formation of rock from molten material cooling, called crystallization.

Answer:

• Arrow from igneous rock to sediment: weathering and erosion
• Arrow from sediment to sedimentary rock: sedimentation
• Arrow from igneous rock to metamorphic rock: metamorphism
• Arrow from metamorphic rock to magma: melting
• Arrow from magma to igneous rock: crystallization
