Multiple Choice

Igneous rock is formed from cooling magma. Which process will change igneous rock into sedimentary rock?

• heat and pressure

• melting

• cooling

• weathering and erosion

Multiple Choice

Which explanation describes how metamorphic rocks are formed?

• Metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary and igneous rocks change over time under heat and pressure.

• Metamorphic rock is formed when earthquakes shake up the rocks so they are broken into small pieces.

• Metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rocks are broken down over time by wind and rain.

• Metamorphic rock is formed when lava that erupts from a volcano cools in the atmosphere.

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes how sedimentary rock is formed?

• Flowing magma cooled quickly, creating many uneven layers

• Extreme pressure melted and formed minerals in uneven layers.

• Layers of mineral deposits were compressed over a long time period.

• Separate layers of lava cooled over time, hardening at different rates

Multiple Choice

True or False: Once a rock is sedimentary, it cannot become an igneous rock.

• True
• False

Multiple Choice

Extreme Heat and Pressure creates a _________ rock.

• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary
• Mineral

Multiple Choice

Cooling & crystalization produce

• igneous rocks
• metamorphic rocks
• sedimentary rocks

Multiple Choice

This rock was found near the mouth of a volcano. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

Multiple Choice

A rock that contains pieces of shells and fossils compacted and cemented together over time is...

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Sediments

Multiple Choice

The rock that forms deep under ground?

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

• Metamorphic

• Lava

Multiple Choice

What powers the rock cycle?

• Energy from the sun and processes deep within the Earth

• Ocean

• Weathering

• Nothing

Multiple Choice

This rock was formed by smaller pieces of rock that settled at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes how sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic rock?

• When sedimentary rock cools below the ocean, the sedimentary rock becomes metamorphic rock.

• Sedimentary rock must combine with igneous rock to become metamorphic rock.

• Sedimentary rock is forced downward into the Earth to an area hot enough to completely melt the sedimentary rock and transform it into metamorphic rock.

• Sedimentary rock is forced downward into the Earth to an area hot enough to "cook," but not melt, the rock. "Cooking" the rock transforms it into metamorphic rock

Multiple Choice

Geologists have classified rocks into three major groups of rocks which are:

• inorganic, organic and chemical rocks

• igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks

• metamorphic, chemical and non chemical rocks

• sedimentary, inorganic and igneous rocks
