Rock Cycle - Types of Rocks

What type of rock can be found at the bottom of a river bed?

• sedimentary rock

• igneous rock

• metamorphic rock

This type of igneous rock cools quickly.

• intrusive igneous rock

• extrusive igneous rock

• felsic

• mafic

This metamorphic rock was formed with high heat (temperatures) and pressure.

• foliated

• nonfoliated

• contact metamorphism

• regional metamorphism

This metamorphic rock has only a few minerals present.

• foliated

• non foliated

• contact metamorphism

• regional metamorphism

This rock forms at or near the surface without heat and pressure.

• metamorphic

• sedimentary

• igneous

NGSS.MS-ESS1-4

This sedimentary rock forms when water evaporates and leaves crystals behind.

• clastic sedimentary rock

• chemical sedimentary rock

• organic sedimentary rock

An intrusive igneous rock will have what type of crystals?

• small

• medium

• large

• average

NGSS.MS-PS1-1

This metamorphic process creates rock that is exposed only to high temperatures.

• foliated

• non foliated

• contact metamorphism

• regional metamorphism

This sedimentary rock forms from the remains of once living organisms.

• clastic sedimentary rock

• chemical sedimentary rock

• organic sedimentary rock

• ordinary sedimentary rock
