You find an igneous rock in your back yard. Is it possible that material from this rock formation could
ever form sedimentary rock on Earth's surface?
O Yes, energy from Earth's interior can cause igneous rock to break into small rock pieces that can form
sedimentary rock.
O No, sedimentary rock forms at Earth's surface because energy from the sun causes rock to weather, but
igneous rock under Earth's outer layer is not exposed to energy from the sun.
O Yes, if igneous rock is moved to Earth's surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into
small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.
No, sedimentary rock can only form out of material from other sedimentary rock. There is no way that
sedimentary rock can form from material in igneous rock.
