Question

use the words below to label the types of rock and materials in the rock cycle.
sedimentary rock igneous rock metamorphic rock
magma sediment

Explanation:

1. Top left label (rock at surface, source of weathering): This rock is formed by crystallization of magma, so it is igneous rock. Weathering and erosion break it down into sediment.
2. Top right label (product of weathering/erosion): The process "weathering and erosion" produces loose particles, which is sediment.
3. Middle right label (product of sedimentation): Sediment is compacted and cemented via sedimentation to form sedimentary rock.
4. Bottom left label (molten material, product of melting): The process "melting" of rocks produces molten magma, which crystallizes to form igneous rock.
5. Bottom right label (rock formed by metamorphism): Both igneous and sedimentary rocks can undergo metamorphism (heat and pressure) to form metamorphic rock.

Answer:

• Top left box: igneous rock
• Top right box: sediment
• Middle right box: sedimentary rock
• Bottom left box: magma
• Bottom right box: metamorphic rock
