22
500 Question Topic 1
Explain how we classify
sedimentary rocks and
give specific examples of each rock type.
23
500 Answer Topic 1
We classify sedimentary rocks by
their grain size. Conglomerate
(large), sandstone (medium), Shale
(fine), and limestone (very fine). Organic
(containing remains of once living things,
chemical (crystallizing), evaporates (water
evaporating)

500 Question Topic 6
Explain how the rock cycle works.
99
500 Answer Topic 6
Rocks are formed from magma deep inside
the earth. Over time, weathering and
erosion transport rock fragments and
accumulate into layers in an ocean. over time,
rocks cement together. Sometimes when rocks
get heated and pressured, they change
into metamorphic rock. When rock gets forced
under the earth to be reheated, they form new
igneous rock.
