To correctly answer this question and complete the task of dragging and dropping the words into the correct locations, you need to understand the definitions of the different types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of molten material, such as magma or lava. It can be created either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or on the surface (extrusive).
Metamorphic rock is formed when pre-existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures, pressures, or both. This causes the minerals within the rock to recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in a different structure and composition.
Sedimentary rock is formed through the accumulation and lithification (compaction and cementation) of sediments—such as fragments of rocks, minerals, or organic material—over time. These sediments can undergo processes like weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition.
Now, let's apply this knowledge to the given statements and their corresponding types of rocks:
1. "Types of minerals change in heated _________ rock."
This statement is referring to the change in minerals due to heat. Since minerals can change in heated rock, the correct type of rock for this statement would be metamorphic rock. So, drag and drop "Metamorphic" into the first blank.
2. "A record of Biological time can be found in ________ rock."
The statement suggests that the record of biological time can be preserved in a specific type of rock. Fossils, which are often used as records of biological history, are commonly found in sedimentary rocks. Therefore, drag and drop "Sedimentary" into the second blank.
3. "Matter changed state from liquid to solid to form ________ rock."
This statement describes the process of matter transitioning from a liquid state to a solid state, resulting in the formation of a specific type of rock. The correct type of rock formed through this process is igneous rock. Thus, drag and drop "Igneous" into the third blank.
After completing the task, the correct arrangement of the words in the blanks should be:
1. Types of minerals change in heated Metamorphic rock.
2. A record of Biological time can be found in Sedimentary rock.
3. Matter changed state from liquid to solid to form Igneous rock.
Remember to drag and drop the words accordingly to match the correct types of rocks and their definitions.
