Thanks DHGAMES

Got 100%

DHGAMES is correct for Earth Science U3L3. Thank you so so much!!

1. The statement "Most rocks are a mixture of minerals" is true. Rocks are commonly made up of different minerals and can also contain other nonmineral matter, such as organic material or pieces of other rocks.

2. If granite undergoes high temperatures and high pressures within Earth without melting, it will be transformed into a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to extreme heat and pressure. In this case, the granite will go through a process called metamorphism and become a different type of rock, such as gneiss or schist.

3. All of the energy that drives Earth's rock cycle comes from Earth's interior and the sun. The rock cycle is a continuous process of rock formation, transformation, and weathering. The sun's energy contributes to weathering and erosion, while Earth's interior provides the energy for processes like volcanic activity, which generates new rocks.

4. The energy source that drives the processes forming igneous and metamorphic rocks is found in Earth's interior. This energy is mainly derived from processes like plate tectonics, mantle convection, and radioactive decay. It leads to the formation of magma, which crystallizes to create igneous rocks, and the heat and pressure necessary for the formation of metamorphic rocks.

5. A rock that forms when magma hardens beneath Earth's surface is called an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive rocks, also known as plutonic rocks, cool and solidify within the Earth's crust. As a result, they have a coarse-grained texture since they cool slowly and have time for large mineral crystals to form. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite.

Are rocks considered valuable natural resources?(1 point)

No, rocks are not valuable because they are nonliving solids.

Yes, rocks are valuable because they are useful to people.

No, rocks are not valuable because they contain a lot of waste.
