MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

What feature is the same in the formation of many sedimentary rocks and all fossil fuels? Many sedimentary rocks and all fossil fuels -

require material to be buried and exposed to heat and pressure.
are made out of organic material that stores the Sun’s energy
form where there are frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
are produced high in the mountains where temperatures are low.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Sedimentary rocks form when broken bits of other rock are deposited and then –

buried and squeezed and cemented together.
melted by the heat of the Earth’s core.
completely dissolved in salt water in the ocean.
used by humans as a natural resource.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Fossil fuels form in sedimentary rocks when –

plants use the nutrients in sediments to grow.
organic matter is buried along with sediments.
rivers carry sediments down mountainsides.
sediments are used by humans as a resource

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Oil formation occurs where, millions of years ago, there were large oceans. This is because oceans have –

waves that are constantly moving.
great numbers of microscopic organisms.
currents that mix the water thoroughly.
deep caverns where no light can reach.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What conditions in an ancient environment would make it suitable to the formation of fossil fuels?

Movement of surface water causing weathering of rock.
Frequent volcanic eruptions and forest fires.
Extremes in high and low temperatures during the day.
Abundant plant life and rapid laying down of sediments.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

The formation of fossil fuels is a process that takes millions of years and starts with energy from the Sun. The Sun contributes to the formation of fossil fuels by –

heating up the Earth's core where fossil fuels form.
generating winds, so humans use less fossil fuels.
giving energy to the living things that become fossil fuels.
giving off heat, similar to burning fossil fuels.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –

get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy
are carried by currents all over the planet.
decay completely so that their matter is recycled.
settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Most sedimentary rock forms in the ocean. This is
because oceans –

emit much less pollution than most other habitats.
receive the majority of the Sun’s energy.
have fewer plants and animals than on land.
are where most bits of broken rock get deposited.
