Rock Process Match-Up Answer Key

In this worksheet, students match eight key rock cycle processes to their correct definitions. Each definition describes how rocks change due to erosion, weathering, compaction, melting, cooling, or other geological actions. Learners must carefully examine each process name and pair it with the scientific description that best fits. This activity builds vocabulary mastery and conceptual understanding of changes that occur in Earth’s crust. By differentiating between similar-sounding processes, students refine their analytical reading skills. The worksheet reinforces foundational Earth science knowledge and prepares students for more advanced geological concepts.
