Lithification creates:

Clastic or bioclastic sedimentary rocks

Fossiliferous metamorphic rocks

Which of the following can result in the formation of sedimentary rock?

The accumulation of shell fragments

The cementation of former sand deposits

Lake sediment that is squeezed together by overlying sediment

Select all possible answers: How might an increase in global sea level influence the preservation of fossils in sedimentary rocks?

It can cause the erosion and destruction of sedimentary rock layers, resulting in the loss of some fossils

Fossils will become compressed and flattened as a result of the increased pressure from rising sea levels

It has no impact on the formation and preservation of fossils in sedimentary rocks

More fossils will form due to the greater deposition of sediment

Why do intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals?

Because they are exposed to low temperatures

Because they have a low density

Which of the following describes the main difference between igneous rocks from continental and oceanic crust?

Oceanic crust is mostly basalt and gabbro, while continental crust is mostly granite

Oceanic igneous rocks have higher silica content than continental igneous rocks

Continental igneous rocks are mostly mafic in composition, while oceanic igneous rocks are mostly felsic

Oceanic igneous rocks are more resistant to weathering and erosion than continental igneous rocks

Igneous rocks form when magma cools and forms crystals. How does the rate at which the magma cools affect the appearance of the rock?

It affects the texture of the rock

It affects the heat of the rock

It affects the location where the rocks can be found

It affects the colors of the rock

Select all possible answers: You are exploring a volcanic island and come across two different types of rocks. One has large, dark-colored crystals, while the other has smaller, light-colored crystals. Which type of igneous rocks do you think you've found based on your observations of the rock, and what factors contribute to the differences in crystal size and color?

The rock with smaller, light-colored crystals is most likely a felsic igneous rock, formed from faster cooling of magma rich in aluminum and sodium

The rock with large, dark-colored crystals is most likely a mafic igneous rock, formed from the slow cooling of magma rich in iron and magnesium

The rock with smaller, light-colored crystals is most likely mafic igneous rock, formed from faster cooling of magma rich in aluminum and sodium

Both rocks are likely to be intermediate igneous rocks, formed from a balanced composition of magma and moderate cooling rates

What happens to rocks when subjected to extreme heat and pressure?

They change in composition and texture

They are deposited as sedimentary rock

They are crushed into sediments

Select all possible answers: How can intense heat and pressure affect existing metamorphic rocks?

Intense heat and pressure cause the minerals in metamorphic rocks to recrystallize

Intense heat and pressure cause metamorphic rocks to melt and become igneous rocks

Intense heat and pressure cause metamorphic rocks to weather and erode

Intense heat and pressure cause metamorphic rocks to break apart into sediments

Minerals form from hot water in this way:

Hot underground water dissolves materials from rocks, but then as the water moves through the rock it cools and precipitates minerals

Hot water dissolves materials as it moves through the rock, but then the water evaporates and leaves behind minerals

Hot water contains minerals that precipitate when the water evaporates away

As pressure on the hot water lowers, minerals are stable and precipitate from the water

Luster is the physical property that describes which of the following?

How shiny or dull the mineral appears

What color mark the mineral leaves when scraped on the white tile

How quickly the mineral sinks through water

How hard the mineral is to break

Why does halite break into cubes?

This is the way the weaker chemical bonds break

It fractures along perpendicular planes

Its fibers are perpendicular to each other and that is how it breaks

Which of the following would display the reactivity (a chemical property) of a mineral?

Is easily scratched by a piece of quartz

Breaks easily when struck with a chisel
