Question 3

pts
Assuming the cycle begins with molten magma in a chamber beneath an active volcano, match the subsequent steps with the corresponding rock cycle description.
Step 1
Molten magma moves to the surface of an active volcano.
Step 2
Lava erupts from the volcanoe and cools as an extrusive igneous rock.
Step 3
Rainfall erodes the extrusive igneous rock and carries the sediment
downstream where it eventually is deposited in a river delta entering the sea. Step 4
The delta sediments undergo compaction and cementation and become a sandstone.
