Rock Transformations and Energy Quiz

What are the three main types of rock transformations?

• Solid, liquid, and gas

• Smooth, rough, and shiny

• Hard, soft, and brittle

• Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic

How does igneous rock form from magma or lava?

• Cooling and solidification

• Evaporation and condensation

• Heating and melting

• Weathering and erosion

What is the process of sedimentary rock formation?

• Accumulation and compression of sediments

• Evaporation of water from a lake or ocean

• Melting and cooling of magma

• Erosion and weathering of igneous rocks

Explain the energy transformation involved in the formation of metamorphic rock.

• Conversion of electricity and magnetism into heat and pressure

• Conversion of heat and pressure into chemical and physical changes

• Conversion of wind and water into physical changes

• Conversion of light and sound into chemical changes

What are the factors that contribute to the energy transformation in rock formation?

• Heat, pressure, and chemical reactions

• Sound, electricity, and radiation

• Gravity, friction, and magnetism

• Wind, water, and sunlight

How does heat and pressure contribute to the transformation of rocks?

• Recrystallization of minerals within the rock

• Creation of new rock formations

• Formation of fossil fuels

• Erosion of the rock surface

What role does the rock cycle play in the transformation of rocks and energy?

• It continuously recycles and transforms different types of rocks.

• It creates new rocks from scratch

• It has no impact on the transformation of rocks and energy

• It only transforms one type of rock

Explain the concept of chemical weathering and its impact on rock transformation.

• Chemical weathering has no impact on rock transformation and only affects the surface of the rock.

• Chemical weathering is the process of rocks being broken down by physical force, such as wind and water erosion.

• Chemical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down by chemical reactions, leading to changes in the mineral composition of the rock.

• Chemical weathering only occurs in man-made structures and does not affect natural rock formations.

What are the environmental factors that influence the energy transformation in rock formation?

• Wind speed, humidity, and soil composition

• Vegetation density, ocean currents, and magnetic field strength

• Sunlight exposure, air pollution, and seismic activity

• Temperature, pressure, and the presence of water

Describe the role of erosion in the transformation of rocks.

• Erosion breaks down rocks into smaller particles and transports them to new locations.

• Erosion has no impact on the transformation of rocks.

• Erosion causes rocks to grow larger and more stable.

• Erosion turns rocks into liquid form.
