Rock Transformation TEST review

Using your scientific knowledge, select the option that makes the most sense.

• Two rocks are different types because they are both formed from rock material.

• Two rocks are different types because they formed in different ways.

• Two rocks are different types because they formed in different places.

Using your scientific knowledge, what option makes the most sense?

• Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. Energy inside Earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rock to weather into small pieces of rock.

• Energy causes different types of rock to change in different ways. Energy changes igneous rock into liquid rock and changes sedimentary rock into small pieces of rock

• Energy caused one rock type to form, but not the other. Rock that forms because of energy is a different type of rock than rock that forms without energy.

Using your scientific knowledge, what option makes the most sense?

• If sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock

• If sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

• Igneous rock can only form from other igneous rock. Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.

Using your scientific knowledge, what option makes the most sense?

• If anything were left out for a long time, it would break into small pieces.

• Rays from the sun shone down on the rock, and it broke into pieces.

• Wind and rain interacted with the rock, breaking it into small pieces.

How are igneous rocks formed?

• It melted and cooled.

• It was heated and put under pressure.

• It broke into sediment and then compacted.

Using your scientific knowledge, what option makes the most sense?

• Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. Energy inside Earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rock to weather into small pieces.

• Energy changes rock on different continents in different ways. Each continent on Earth has different rock that might form liquid or small rock pieces when exposed to energy.

• Energy causes different types of rock to change in different ways. Energy changes igneous rock into liquid rock and changes sedimentary rock into small pieces of rock.

Using your scientific knowledge, what option makes the most sense?

• If igneous rock is moved to Earth’s surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.

• sedimentary rock forms at Earth’s surface because energy from the sun causes rock to weather, but igneous rock under Earth’s outer layer is not exposed to energy from the sun.

• energy from Earth’s interior can cause igneous rock to break into small rock pieces that can form sedimentary rock.

Using your scientific knowledge, what option makes the most sense?

• rock will not change at all. Rock just stays as it is.

• rock might change if it is the right season.

• Most rock transformation processes happen very slowly.
