INTERLUDE C READING QUIZAs they pass through the rock cycle, atoms stay within the same mineral. move through the rock cycle in the same manner. do not move through the rock cycle at the same rate. that were adjacent to each other remain near each other.FEEDBACK: Atoms that move through the rock cycle do not move at the same rate, and therefore rocks found at Earth's surface can be of very different ages. Identify the FALSE statement. Most atoms that are found in continental crust never return to the mantle because continental crust is too buoyant to subduct. New material cannot enter the rock cycle; only the material that is in the cycle now can be recycled. Ocean crust does not erode and generally does not follow the path to sedimentary rock in the rock cycle. Rocks in the Appalachian Mountains have passed through many stages of the rock cycle throughout the last billion years.FEEDBACK: New material can enter the rock cycle as magma rises from the mantle and enters the crust. Identify the FALSE statement. A rock in any given class doesn't last forever because Earth materials can change from one type to another over time. Earth is an actively changing, dynamic system. all rocks in the crust will, at some point, be subducted and melted to create igneous rock.uplift, weathering, burial, and heating/melting can transform one rock type into another.FEEDBACK: Since continental crust cannot subduct, it is incorrect to say that all crustal rocks will, at one time or another, be subducted to make igneous rocks. Identify the FALSE statement. The rock cycle does not exist on the Moon because the Moon has no atmosphere. plate tectonics is not active on the Moon. there are no oceans on the Moon. the Moon is much younger than the Earth and hasn't had enough time to weather/erode.FEEDBACK: Because the Moon has no atmosphere, oceans, or active plate tectonic system, the rock cycle does not exist. The age of the Moon has nothing to do with the presence or absence ofthe rock cycle.Identify the FALSE statement. The rock cycle indicates that sedimentary rock cannot form from other sedimentary rocks because the pathway isalways from one rock type to a different rock type. in order to make a metamorphic rock, burial and/or heating are needed. a granite that was eroded, transported, and then deposited would eventually becomea sedimentary rock. input of new melt into the crust enters the rock cycle as an igneous rock.FEEDBACK: Each rock type within the rock cycle can become either another rock type or thesame rock type through the processes shown in Figure C.1.Shale, a sedimentary rock, can be subjected to high heat and pressure through volcanism during mid-ocean ridge spreading. partial melting during hot-spot activity. exhumation during rifting. burial during continental collision.FEEDBACK: Choice d explains how shale, a sedimentary rock found at the Earth's surface, can be buried to significant depth, which increases its pressure and temperature and may cause it to undergo metamorphism.The various geologic settings in which rocks can melt, metamorphose, or become sediment are ultimately generated by gravity. plate tectonics. heat from the Sun. life at the Earth's surface.FEEDBACK: Plate interactions, as a result of plate tectonics, ultimately generate the various geologic settings where Earth materials can melt, metamorphose, and/or weather to become sediments.Using the diagram that shows an example of how rocks can change in the rock cycle, which of the following lists properly defines the numbered processes? 1. weathering/transport/deposition/lithification, 2. heat and pressure, 3. melting 1. heat and pressure, 2. melting, 3. weathering/transport/deposition/lithification 1. melting, 2. heat and pressure, 3. weathering/transport/deposition/lithification 1. heat and pressure, 2. weathering/transport/deposition/lithification, 3. meltingFEEDBACK: The process by which igneous rocks can change to sedimentary rocks is through weathering/transport/deposition/lithification (arrow 1). The resulting sedimentary rocks can then change to metamorphic rocks by the addition of heat and pressure (arrow 2). Lastly, metamorphic rocks as shown in this example can become igneous rocks by melting (arrow 3). Which of the following describes an igneous → metamorphic → sedimentary path through the rock cycle? A granite becomes buried and heated to form gneiss, and is then uplifted and erodedto make sand. A shale is uplifted and eroded to make clay, deposited into a basin, then buried and heated. A schist is buried and heated to form gneiss, then uplifted and eroded to make sand.A sandstone is melted then cooled, then uplifted and eroded to make sand.FEEDBACK: A granite is an igneous rock. If it then becomes buried and heated to form a gneiss, it has undergone metamorphism. If that rock is then uplifted and eroded to make sand, it has gone through the sedimentary segment of the rock cycle. Which of the following sequences explains the transition path of a rock that experienced melting then cooling, burial to deep depths during mountain building, and then uplift and weathering? igneous → igneous → sedimentary igneous → metamorphic → sedimentary metamorphic → igneous → metamorphic sedimentary → igneous → metamorphicFEEDBACK: The key words melting, burial, and weathering indicate that this pathway describes igneous, then metamorphic, then sedimentary rock formation.INTERLUDE C VISUAL QUIZSpecific rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) are commonly found in specific geologic settings. What type of rock would most likely be formed at location A in the figure below?. sedimentary metamorphic igneous volcanicFEEDBACK: The image shows a continent-continent collision. An orogenic event like this produces heat, pressure, and lots of metamorphic rocks.Specific rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) are commonly found in specific geologic settings. What type of rock would MOST likely be formed at location A in the figure below?sedimentarymetamorphicigneousvolcanicFEEDBACK: This image is of a rift zona. Crustal thinning due to rifting leads to extensive volcanism and the production of igneous rocks.The following image shows the rock cycle. The three different rock types are represented, but theprocesses that connect the rocks within the cycle are not labeled. What process(s) would be responsible for the transition labeled A?burial and heating weathering,
