Front

How is magma different from lava?

Back

Lava is magma that erupts onto Earth's surface.

Front

Clastic sedimentary rock and organic sedimentary rocks are both kinds of sedimentary rocks. What do they have in common?

Back

They are formed from layers of sediment.

Front

Which of the following best describes how sedimentary rock forms? Options: molten rock beneath the surface of the Earth cools and becomes solid, layers of material become compressed to form rock, chemical processes or changes in pressure or temperature change the texture and composition of a rock, molten rock reaches Earth's surface and cools to become solid rock

Back

layers of material become compressed to form rock

Front

Which processes are needed to transform basalt into sedimentary rock? Options: sifting and floating, heating and cooling, uplift and subsidence, erosion and deposition

Back

erosion and deposition

Front

What are the two methods used to classify rocks? Options: composition and texture, texture and liquid, solid and gas, color and minerals

Back

composition and texture

Front

The three main categories of rock are

Back

igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic

Front

This forms when magma beneath Earth's surface and lava flowing across Earth's surface cool and solidify.

Back

igneous rock

Front

This rock forms when magma cools and solidifies beneath Earth's surface

Back

intrusive igneous rock

Front

This rock forms when magma lava cools and solidifies at Earth's surface

Back

extrusive igneous rock

Front

This rock forms when sediment is deposited and compressed

Back

sedimentary rock
