All rocks on Earth are eventually recycled into another type. In between the rock, types are different forms of materials, such as sediment and magma. The processes that cycle Earth’s materials over time are collectively called the rock cycle.

Which of the following best describes the flow of energy that drives the processes of the rock cycle? Select all that apply

A) Energy from Earth’s hot interior produces magma which then cools
and crystallizes into igneous rock.

B) Energy from the Sun produces lava on Earth’s surface which can cool
and crystallize into igneous rock.

C) Energy from Earth’s hot interior causes extreme temperatures and
pressure to change igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks
into new metamorphic rocks.

D) Energy from the Sun causes wind and water movement, causing
weathering and erosion of rocks and the production of sediments

E) Energy from Earth’s hot interior produces sediments which then compact and cement into sedimentary rock.

F) Energy from the Sun causes wind and water movement to carry and
deposit sediments, which can eventually form sedimentary rocks.
