Rock Cycle Quiz

What type of rock is most likely to have long, flat mineral grains?

• An extrusive igneous rock

• An intrusive igneous rock

• A sedimentary rock

• A metamorphic rock

What is the difference between lava and magma?

• Lava is cold and magma is hot

• Magma flows from volcanoes and lava does not

• Magma is molten material below ground, and lava is above ground

• Lava is molten material below ground, and magma is above ground

Which factors form metamorphic rocks?

• Weathering and erosion

• Heat and pressure

• Erosion and pressure

• Heat and rapid cooling

• Cooling and pressure

What is the process of erosion?

• Sediment is deposited in a new environment.

• Sediment is carried away by wind, water, or living things.

• Rocks are formed from magma cooling.

• Rocks are formed under heat and pressure.

What are two agents of erosion?

• Heat and pressure

• Wind and water

• Magma and lava

• Sand and pebbles

What is the process of deposition?

• Sediments are deposited in a new environment.

• Sediments are carried away by wind.

• Rocks are formed from other rocks.

• Rocks are formed from cooling magma.

What are sedimentary rocks formed from?

• Magma cooling and hardening

• Pieces of other rocks that are cemented together

• Heat and pressure under the Earth's surface

• Crystals and fossils

What are igneous rocks formed from?

• Sediments being deposited

• Magma cooling and hardening

• Heat and pressure

• Fossils and crystals

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• Weathering and erosion

• Melting and cooling

• Heat and pressure

• Crystallization and solidification

What is a characteristic of foliated metamorphic rocks?

• They have layers

• They are formed from lava

• They contain fossils

• They have large crystals
