BJHS Science 8 Rock Cycle Review 22-23 CNO

Front

Refer to the Rock Cycle diagram. What statement best describes a process that occurs in the rock cycle? Options: Metamorphic can form due to deposition and burial of sediments, Sedimentary rock can become igneous rock and metamorphic rock, Igneous rock can form when metamorphism of the rock occurs, Sedimentary rock can form when it is melted down into magma

Back

Sedimentary rock can become igneous rock and metamorphic rock

Front

A rock formed beneath a lake and contains fossils of aquatic animals. Over time, this rock is forced into the mantle due to plate movement and melts. As the melted magma cuts through rock layers, it cools and crystallizes below the surface. Which change in rock type has occurred?

Back

Sedimentary rock has turned into igneous rock

Front

What type of rock is formed due to cooling and crystallization?

Back

Igneous rock

Front

Which statement best describes how sedimentary rock is formed?

Back

Layers of mineral deposits were compressed and cemented over time.

Front

Which is labeled correctly: 1-Igneous Rock, 2-Sedimentary Rock, 3-Sediments, 4-Metamorphic Rock; 1-Metamorphic Rock, 2-Igneous Rock, 3-Sediments, 4-Sedimentary Rock; 1-Sedimentary Rock, 2-Metamorphic Rock, 3-Igneous Rock, 4-Sediments; 1-Sediments, 2-Metamorphic Rock, 3-Igneous Rock, 4-Sedimentary Rock?

Back

1-Sedimentary Rock, 2-Metamorphic Rock, 3-Igneous Rock, 4-Sediments

Front

What forces can change sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock?

Back

Heat and pressure

Front

Which statement would BEST describe chemical weathering? Lichen growing on rocks can produce acid that reacts with the rock and helps to break down the rock to form soil, Water freezing and thawing causing the rock to break down into smaller pieces and help form soil, Scraping of rocks due to friction between rocks and moving particles in ocean waves, Roots of a plants growing in the side of a mountain breaks down rocks into smaller pieces helping to create soil

Back

Lichen growing on rocks can produce acid that reacts with the rock and helps to break down the rock to form soil

Front

Which statement about the texture of soil and permeability is correct?
Smaller the particles the higher the permeability
Smaller the particles the lower the permeability
Larger the particles the lower the permeability
Particle size does not affect the permeability

Back

Smaller the particles the lower the permeability

Front

What erosion agent MOST likely caused the formation of this cave? Options: Sandblasting due to the wind blowing sand, Water freezing and then thawing causing the cracks in the cliff, Water from the ocean wearing away the cliff, Pressure caused by two plate moving together

Back

Water from the ocean wearing away the cliff

Front

This diagram shows several layers at and below Earth's surface. Which process could have helped form these layers shown in this diagram? Cooling and crystallization of magma, Rocks broken down into smaller pieces, Deposition of sediments, Extreme heat and pressure

Back

Deposition of sediments
