Question

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

Explanation:

• Weathering and erosion: Breaks down rocks into sediments.
• Sedimentation: Sediments accumulate and form sedimentary rocks.
• Metamorphism: Sedimentary or igneous rocks change due to heat and pressure.
• Melting: Metamorphic or other rocks turn into magma.
• Crystallization: Magma cools and forms igneous rocks.

Answer:

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