A stream flowing at a velocity of 100 centimeters per second can transport

• silt, but not sand, pebbles, or cobbles
  
• silt and sand, but not pebbles or cobbles
  
• silt, sand, and pebbles, but not cobbles
• silt, sand, pebbles, and cobbles
  

which igneous rock is dark colored, cooled rapidly on Earth's surface, and is composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar, olivine, and pyroxene

• Obsidian

• Rhyolite

• Gabbro

• Scoria

Which sedimentary rocks are clastic and consist of particles that have diameters smaller than 0.006 centimeter?

• conglomerate and sandstone
• siltstone and shale
• bituminous coal and breccia
• fossil limestone and chemical limestone

Which process most likely formed a layer of the sedimentary rock, gypsum

• precipitation from seawater
• folding of clay-sized particles
• solidification of magma
• melting of sand-sized particles

The metamorphic rock at location A is most likely

• marble
• quartzite
• phyllite
• slate

An INTRUSIVE igneous rock with large crystals is formed:

• When magma cools quickly. 
• At the bottom of the ocean. 
• When magma cools slowly, allowing time for crystals to grow. 
• At the top of a mountain.
