Retaking Chapter 2 quiz

You have 2 rocks formed at the same time. One rock was formed from small pieces of rock and the other was formed from liquid rock in a different place. Would these rocks be the same or different types of rock? Why?

• the same type because they are both formed from rock material.

• the same type because they formed at the same time

• different types because they formed in different ways

• different types because they formed in different places

Energy from the sun causes rocks to be weathered and broken into smaller pieces called

• magma.

• rocks.

• pebbles.

• sediment.

Sedimentary rock is formed when

• rock moves beneath the surface of Earth, is melted into magma, then cooled to form rock.

• energy from the sun causes rock to be weathered, broken into sediment, and then compacted and cemented together to form rock.

• rock moves above Earth's surface and is exposed to energy from Earth's interior.

• energy from Earth's interior causes the sediment to melt and form rock.

A rock that forms due to magma cooling is

• an igneous rock.

• a sedimentary rock.

• a metamorphic rock.

• sediment.

For sediment to become sedimentary rock, it must go through which of the following processes?

• weathering

• compaction and cementation

• melting

• cooling

What type of rock is formed when pieces of rock have been compacted and cemented together?

• sediment

• igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

• sedimentary rock

Energy from the Eath's interior causes rock to melt and form magma. What type of rock forms when magma is cooled?

• igneous rock

• lava

• sedimentary rock

• metamorphic rock

Any rock that has been weathered is broken down into pieces called

• metamorph.

• sedimentary pieces.

• igneous pieces.

• sediment.

Igneous rock is formed when

• rock heats up and melts.

• magma cools and hardens.

• rock is broken down into small pieces.

• sediment is compacted and cemented.

Any type of rock can transform into any type of rock because of plate motion.

• True

• False
