Fossil Fuels/Sedimentary Rock

How are Sedimentary Rocks formed?

• Cooling and Hardening
• Heat and Pressure
• Compacting and Cementing
• Melting

What are the 3 main fossil fuels?

• Coal, Oil, and Gasoline
• Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas
• Electricity, Gasoline, Petroleum
• Coal, Oil, Non-renewable Resources

Which of the following is a fossil fuel?

• Wind
• Coal
• Solar
• Biomass

The Appalachian Mountains used to be pointed like the Rockies. What process lead to the roundedness of their peaks?

• Weathering
• Deposition
• Lightning Strikes
• Mining of the rock

A fossil fuel is a natural fuel formed in the geological past from remains of living organisms.

• True

• False

natural resources, such as fossil fuels, that will eventually be used up and can never be replalced

• renewable resource
• biofuels
• hydroelectric energy
• nonrenewable resources

What must be present for Fossil Fuels to form?

• Bones and Sediment
• Dead Organisms and Layers of Sediment
• Dead Organisms, Layers of Sediment, and Heat & Pressure over time
• Bones, Layers of Sediment, and Heat & Pressure over time

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 the salt water of the ocean 
• used by humans as a natural resource

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 tiny marine animals
• currents that mix the water thoroughly
• deep caverns where no light can reach

What causes rocks to break down? (Typically by wind or water)

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

• Cementation
