true

Answer

false

Question 19

sediment forms when any type of rock is _________, a process driven by the energy from the sun.

magma

Question 20

Based on the information are rocks A and B the same or different? Rock A formed from small pieces of rock, Rock B formed from liquid rock in a different place, and Rocks A and B formed at the same time

Accepted Answer

Different types because they formed in different ways.

Answer

The same type because they both formed from rock material

Answer

The same type because they formed at the same time

Answer

Different types because they formed in different places.

Question 21

On the island of Hawaii, Paul notices that the sand on the beach is black, the same color as the rock formations on the island. Paul realizes the sand used to be part of the rock formations. How did material from the rock formations turn into sand?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

The sand was formed by earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters. These disasters were strong enough to break the rock into small pieces.

Question 22

How can energy play a role in different rock types forming?

Accepted Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Question 23

Is it possible for an igneous rock formation underneath Earth's outer layer could turn into a sedimentary rock formation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if igneous 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.

Answer

Yes, energy from Earth's interior can cause igneous rock to break into small rock pieces that form sedimentary rock.

Answer

No, 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.

Answer

No, sedimentary rock can only form out of material from other sedimentary rock. There is no way that sedimentary rock can form from material in igneous rock.

Question 24

What would happen if a sedimentary rock is first exposed to energy from the sun?

Accepted Answer

it will turn into sediment

Answer

it will turn into an igneous rock

Answer

it will melt

Answer

it will stay the same
