Rock Transformation Quiz Review

How could a sedimentary rock include parts of igneous rock?

• It can not, they are two different kinds of rock.

• Magic

• The igneous rock was weathered then that sediment was compacted and cemented into the sedimentary rock.

• The igneous rock was melted by the energy from the earth and cooled into the sedimentary rock.

Igneous rocks must begin with

• rock that melts

• rock that is weathered

• sediment

Dr. Bayul studies rock formations all over the world. She is working on a study of two rock formations. The information from the study is as follows:

• Rock A formed from liquid rock.

• Rock B formed from small pieces of rock in a different place.

• Rocks A and B formed at about the same time.

Are Rocks A and B the same or different types of rock? The rocks are:

• the same type because they 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.

On a geology field trip, Toccara’s class studies a sedimentary rock formation. Is it possible that material from this sedimentary rock could ever form igneous rock?

• Yes, 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.

• Yes, if sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from the sun at Earth’s surface for a long enough time, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

• No, igneous rock forms under Earth’s outer layer due to energy from Earth’s interior, but sedimentary rock is only at Earth’s surface.

• No, igneous rock can only form out of other igneous rocks. Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.

Dr. Laszlo and his colleague Dr. Obasi are studying two different rock samples of different types of rock. How could energy have played a role in the different rock types forming?

• It depends on the type of rock the energy interacts with. 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 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 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.

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

Stonemasons work with rock, cutting it into shapes to use for building. One stonemason was unloading a new delivery of rocks and noticed that the delivery contained two different types of rock.

How could energy have played a role in the different rock types forming?

• 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.

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

• 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.
