What evidence is there that weathering has occurred?

• different sized pieces of rock in different locations show that some rocks have been moved

• different sized pieces of rock show that some rocks have been broken apart

• small rocks at the lowest areas show that rocks have moved from higher locations and have grouped together at lower locations

Which evidence does NOT support the claim that fossils are only found in sedimentary rock, and not in igneous or metamorphic?

• Sedimentary rock is formed by being buried and then made solid

• Fossils are formed from animals or plants that die and are buried and pressed between layers of rock

• Sedimentary rock is older than igneous and metamorphic rocks

• Sedimentary rock is more easily weathered to expose fossils

Based on the data in the table, what would be a correct order of rocks cooling from slowest to fastest?

• basalt -> granite -> rhyolite

• obsidian -> basalt -> granite

• granite -> rhyolite -> obsidian

• rhyolite -> diorite -> obsidian

Based on the evidence in the table, which of the following can you correctly conclude about igneous rock cooling?

• The faster igneous rocks cool, the larger the crystals.

• The slower igneous rocks cool, the larger the crystals

• The rate of cooling for igneous rock does not relate to crystal size.

• The slowly cooling igneous rocks are the only rocks that form crystals.

What type of rock is shown and what evidence supports your claim?

• I know the rock is sedimentary because I can see that there are large crystals that make up the rock.

• I know the rock is metamorphic because I can see shells compacted in the rock.

• I know the rock is metamorphic because I can see that there are fossils found in the different layers of the rock.

• I know the rock is sedimentary because I can see that it is made of different pieces of shell cemented together.

Which is NOT a characteristic of sedimentary rock?

• rocks can be shiny or glassy

• rocks form by burial and being made solid

• rocks can contain fossils

• rocks show layering

Which is NOT a characteristic of metamorphic rock?

• rocks are formed by heat and pressure

• rocks can have flattened crystals

• rocks are usually found near volcanoes

• rocks can show ribbon like layers/ banding
