It is always in one of the stages of the rock cycle. The series of events in the rock cycle takes thousands of years, but the cycle is always in motion.  \nThe pressure inside the Earth produces enough heat to melt rock. This melted rock, or magma, seeps up into the Earth's crust of the Earth or erupts from volcanoes. In the Earth’s crust and around the volcanoes, the magma cools into solid rock. This kind of rock is called igneous rock.  \nOver time, igneous rock breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces. This process, called weathering, produces soil or sediment.  \nWater and wind carry these bits of sediment into layers called sediment beds. This movement of sediment is called erosion. As the sediment is pressed down by more and more sediment on top, the lower levels turn into sedimentary rock.  \nAs more and more layers of sedimentary rock are formed, the layers on the bottom are pushed down deeper into the Earth. They grow hot from the pressure. Finally, the rock may melt into magma and the cycle is complete—and ready to begin again.  \nThen answer the following questions:  \n1. Cause: The pressure deep inside the earth causes extreme heat.  \nWhat is the effect?  \na. Magma is formed.  \nb. Igneous rock is formed.  \nc. Sedimentary rock is formed.  \n2. Cause: Magma erupts from a volcano and cools.  \nWhat is the effect?  \na. Magma is formed.  \nb. Igneous rock is formed.  \nc. Soil is formed.  \n3. Cause: Igneous rock breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces.  \nWhat is the effect?  \na. Igneous rock is formed.  \nb. Soil is formed.  \nc. Sedimentary rock is formed.  \n4. Cause: Wind and water carry soil into sediment beds.  \nWhat is the effect?  \na. Igneous rock is formed.  \nb. Soil is formed.  \nc. Sedimentary rock is formed.  \n5. Cause: Weathering occurs. What is the effect?  \n____________________________________________________________________________  \n____________________________________________________________________________  \n6.
