Geology and the Rock Cycle

Which rock is formed form the cooling of volcanic ash on Earth's surface?

• Metamorphic nonfoliated

• foliated metamorphic

• intrusive igneous

• extrusive igneous

What are the 3 major types of rocks?

• Metamorphic, Igneous, Cementation

• magma, lava, crystals

• Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary

• Metamorphic, Sediment, Igneous

Rocks that form from cooling magma inside Earth?

• Metamorphic nonfoliated

• Igneous intrusive

• organic sedimentary

• Igneous extrusive

Shale (Sedimentary rock) needs _______ to become slate (metamorphic rock)?

• Cooling

• Erosion and deposition

• Melting and Solidification

• Increased heat and pressure

Which of the following takes place when magma turns into igneous rock?

• Heating

• Cooling

• Uplifting

• Weathering

A volcanic eruption took place about 2 billion years ago and released lava onto Earth's surface. The lava cooled to form basalt. Which statement is true about basalt?

• It is a type of sedimentary rock.

• It is also known as an intrusive igneous rock.

• It is a form of metamorphic rock.

• It is an example of extrusive igneous rock.

The flow chart below shows how a metamorphic rock can change into a sedimentary

rock.

Igneous --> Sediment --> Sedimentary Rock --> Metamorphic Rock

Which Process (the arrow) describes the energy to form from Sedimentary to Metamorphic?

• Melting and Cooling

• Heat and Pressure

• Deposition

• Weathering and Erosion

The flow chart below shows how a metamorphic rock can change into a sedimentary

rock.

Igneous --> Sediment --> Sedimentary Rock --> Metamorphic Rock

Which Process (the arrow) describes the energy to form from Sediment to Sedimentary?

• Melting and Cooling

• Heat and Pressure

• Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition then Cementing and Compacting

• Weathering and Erosion

Which term describes the rock that will eventually form on the surface as a result of a volcanic eruption?

• Extrusive

• Intrusive

• Foliated

• Non-foliated

Which statement best describes the formation of a metamorphic rock?

• Existing rocks were melted.

• Molten rocks were cooled slowly over time.

• Other kinds of rocks were broken into pieces.

• Any existing rock experiences heat and pressure.
