Which conditions could most likely produced a decrease in the water level in a lake?

Evaporation exceed precipitation

Precipitation exceed evaporation

A student classified the rock below as sedimentary. Which observation about the rock best supports this classification?

The rock contains fragments of other rocks.

The rock is composed of several minerals

The rock has a vesicular texture.

The rock shows distorted and stretched pebbles.

Base your answer on the cross sections below, which represent two bedrock outcrops 15 kilometers apart. The rock layers have been numbered for identification and some contain the index fossil remains shown. When these rocks were deposited as sediments, this area was most likely

a desert between high mountains

repeatedly covered by lava flows

Base your answer to the question on the drawings of six sedimentary rocks labeled A through F . Most of the rocks shown were formed by

volcanic eruptions and crystallization

The map below shows the area that, at one time, was covered by ancient Lake Bonneville. Evidence of ancient shorelines indicates that, near the end of the last ice age, Lake Bonneville existed in western Utah and eastern Nevada. The Great Salt Lake in Utah is a remnant of the former Lake Bonneville. Which material that was formerly on the bottom of Lake Bonneville is most likely exposed on the land surface today?

fine-grained layers of volcanic lava

Dolostone is classified as which type of rock?

chemically formed sedimentary rock

Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume?

plagioclase feldspar, amphibole, biotite

biotite, plagioclase feldspar, amphibole

biotite, amphibole, plagioclase feldspar

plagioclase feldspar, biotite, amphibole

Base your answer to the next question on the diagram below, which represents a rock composed of cemented pebbles and sand. Which change would most likely occur if this rock became buried deep within Earth's crust and was subjected to intense heat and pressure, but did not melt?

The pebbles would become distorted and the sand would be recrystallized.

The density of the pebbles and sand would decrease

The rock would become a plutonic rock composed mostly of quartz.

The fossil below was found in surface bedrock in the eastern United States. Which statement best describes the formation of the rock containing this fossil?

The rock was formed by the compaction and cementation of sediments deposited in a marine environment during the Cambrian Period.

The rock was formed by the metamorphism of sedimentary rock deposited in a terrestrial environment during the Cretaceous Period.

The rock was formed by the compaction and cementation of sediments deposited in a terrestrial environment during the Triassic Period.

Mineral crystals of quartz, biotite mica, and amphibole are produced primarily by the

cooling and solidification of magma

chemical reaction of elements in seawater

deposition of sediments by a glacier

metamorphism of bituminous coal

The flowchart below illustrates the change from melted rock to basalt. The solidification of the melted rock occurred

rapidly, resulting in fine-grained minerals

slowly, resulting in fine-grained minerals

slowly, resulting in coarse-grained minerals

rapidly, resulting in coarse-grained minerals

Obsidian's glassy texture indicates that it formed

slowly, deep below Earth's surface

quickly, deep below Earth's surface

Which processes formed the granite that is mined in Vermont?

cooling and solidification of magma

compaction and cementation of sediments

uplift and weathering of bedrock

application of heat and pressure to shale
