MFU1: Lesson 2 Quizizz

Granite has only recently been exposed at a location on Earth’s surface. What will need to happen first in order for granite to become sedimentary rock?

• A thick layer of humus must form on top of the granite.

• The granite must be broken into smaller pieces by weathering processes.

• Erosion by wind and water must move pieces of granite to other locations.

• • 
    

    Microorganisms must begin to break down the remains of plants and animals.

Declan observed a rock that he found at the beach. He concluded that the rock was sedimentary. Which observation best supports this conclusion?

• the yellow color

• the hardness of the rock

• the layers within the rock

• the location where the rock was found

Granite forms when magma slowly cools within Earth’s crust. Basalt forms when lava cools on Earth’s surface. What do granite and basalt have in common?

• They are kinds of igneous rock

• They are not made up of minerals.

• They are identical in color and texture.

• They are made up of layers of sediment.

Repeated temperature changes can cause a rock to break down into smaller pieces. Which part of the rock cycle is this an example of?

• erosion

• deposition

• weathering

• subsidence

The flow chart shows how a metamorphic rock can change into a sedimentary rock.
Which term should replace the question mark?

• cooling

• melting

• compaction

• • 
    

    weathering

Which produces the material for the formation of metamorphic rock?

• clasts

• magma

• sediments

• existing rock
