Question

1. diagram: the image below summarizes the different stations in the rock cycle. draw an arrow to represent each possible transition from one rock type to another. then label each arrow with the process that occurs, such as \weathering\ or \erosion and deposition.\. activity (continued from previous page)

Explanation:

Step1: Magma to Igneous Rocks

Magma can cool and solidify either below - the - Earth's surface to form intrusive igneous rock (process: cooling and solidification - intrusive) or on the Earth's surface to form extrusive igneous rock (process: cooling and solidification - extrusive).

Step2: Igneous Rocks to Sediments

Both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks can undergo weathering and erosion to break down into sediments (process: weathering and erosion).

Step3: Sediments to Sedimentary Rock

Sediments can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock (process: compaction and cementation).

Step4: Sedimentary Rock to Metamorphic Rock

Sedimentary rock can be subjected to heat and pressure to transform into metamorphic rock (process: metamorphism).

Step5: Metamorphic Rock to Magma

Metamorphic rock can melt to form magma (process: melting).

Step6: Sedimentary/Metamorphic/Igneous Rock to Soil

All types of rocks can break down into soil through weathering and biological activity (process: weathering and biological activity).

Step7: Soil to Sediments

Soil particles can be eroded and transported to become sediments (process: erosion and transportation).

Step8: Sediments to Soil

Sediments can undergo biological and chemical processes to form soil (process: biological and chemical processes).

Answer:

Draw arrows and label as follows:

• Magma to Intrusive Igneous Rock: "Cooling and solidification - intrusive"
• Magma to Extrusive Igneous Rock: "Cooling and solidification - extrusive"
• Intrusive Igneous Rock to Sediments: "Weathering and erosion"
• Extrusive Igneous Rock to Sediments: "Weathering and erosion"
• Sediments to Sedimentary Rock: "Compaction and cementation"
• Sedimentary Rock to Metamorphic Rock: "Metamorphism"
• Metamorphic Rock to Magma: "Melting"
• Sedimentary Rock to Soil: "Weathering and biological activity"
• Metamorphic Rock to Soil: "Weathering and biological activity"
• Igneous Rock to Soil: "Weathering and biological activity"
• Soil to Sediments: "Erosion and transportation"
• Sediments to Soil: "Biological and chemical processes"
