The correct order for the missing words in the passage is:

"Weathering and erosion are the processes where rock is broken down to create sediment. Sediment then goes through the processes of compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock. This is exposed to heat and pressure, producing metamorphic rock, which then can melt into magma and cool into igneous rock."

So, the correct choice is:

weathering and erosion; compaction and cementation; heat and pressure; melt; cool

What rock type am I?
"I am formed deep underground due to heat and pressure. I do not melt. Slate and Gneiss are examples of me, while Pumice and Granite are not."
(1 Point)

You are describing metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed deep underground under conditions of heat and pressure without melting. Examples include slate and gneiss, whereas pumice and granite are examples of igneous rocks.

True or False: Rocks are continually changing from one type to another

True. Rocks are continually changing from one type to another through processes such as weathering, erosion, sedimentation, and metamorphism. This cycle is known as the rock cycle.

True or False: Rocks always change quickly from one form to another.
(1 Point)

False

True
8.Types of weathering include:
(1 Point)

Chemical

Biological

all of the above

Physical
9.When erosion occurs, it produces which type of rock?
(1 Point)

Metamorphic

Sedimentary

Igneous
10.Marble, a popular material for kitchen bench tops because of its beautiful patterns and heat resistance, is which type of rock?
(1 Point)

Igneous

Sedimentary

Metamorphic

  1. True or False: Rocks always change quickly from one form to another.

    • False. Rocks change from one form to another over long periods of time.

  2. Types of weathering include:

    • All of the above. (Chemical, Biological, and Physical are all types of weathering.)

  3. When erosion occurs, it produces which type of rock?

    • Sedimentary. Erosion results in the transport of sediment, which eventually compacts and cements to form sedimentary rock.

  4. Marble, a popular material for kitchen bench tops because of its beautiful patterns and heat resistance, is which type of rock?

    • Metamorphic. Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone.
