    This document contains a 13 question quiz about the rock cycle and types of rocks. It tests knowledge about igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Specifically, it addresses how each type of rock forms - igneous rocks form from cooling magma, sedimentary rocks form from compacted sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure altering existing rocks. The rock cycle is also described as continuous and demonstrating the dynamic nature of the Earth.
