Minerals, weathering, and erosion

What is the relationship between a rock and a mineral?

• Rocks are made up of minerals.
• Minerals are made up of rocks.
• Rocks are on the Earth's surface. Minerals are found underground.
• Rocks and minerals are different names for the same thing.

Which of the choices below is NOT one of the three types of rocks?

• Metamorphic
• Indigenous
• Sedimentary
• Igneous

What material is used to form igneous rocks?

• magma
• sand
• gravel
• fossils

What process is used to form sedimentary rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.
• Bits of sand and gravel form layers that turn into rock from pressure.
• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turn rocks into new rocks.
• Magma trapped under the Earth's surface cools and solidifies.

Which of the words below describe mud, sand, and tiny bits of rocks that cement together to form a type of rock?

• stalactites
• magmas
• metamorphs
• sediments

What type of rock can turn into a metamorphic rock?

• Igneous only
• Sedimentary only
• Metamorphic only
• Any type of rock

Which type of rock would you expect to find by a volcano?

• Ingenious
• Igneous
• Indigenous 
• Indigo 

How are all rocks related to one another based upon the rock cycle diagram?

• Igneous rocks only come from sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
• Sedimentary rocks cannot make other sedimentary rocks
• All rocks can create any other type of rock
• Heat and pressure must be applied to make sedimentary rock

The process by which metamorphic rocks are formed...

• heat and pressure
• compaction and cementation
• melting and cooling

The process by which igneous rocks are formed...

• heat and pressure
• melting and cooling
• compaction and cementation
