CKLA Unit 5 Chapter 6

What type of rock is formed from sediments?

• Igneous rock

• Metamorphic rock

• Sedimentary rock

• Volcanic rock

What role do natural forces play in the rock cycle?

• Natural forces like wind, water, and temperature changes help in the formation, erosion, and transformation of rocks.

• Natural forces only contribute to the erosion of rocks, not their formation.

• Natural forces have no significant impact on the rock cycle.

• Natural forces are only involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks.

What is the difference between magma and lava?

• Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is magma that has reached the surface.

• Magma is a type of lava that is found in volcanoes.

• Lava is always found underground, while magma is found above ground.

• Magma and lava are the same substance, just different names.

What is the rock cycle?

• The rock cycle is the continuous process of rock formation, erosion, and transformation.

• The rock cycle is a method of classifying different types of rocks.

• The rock cycle refers to the process of mining and extracting minerals from the earth.

• The rock cycle is a seasonal change in the weather patterns affecting rock formations.

Can sedimentary rocks contain fossils?

• Yes, sedimentary rocks can contain fossils because they form from sediments that may include remains of living organisms.

• No, sedimentary rocks do not contain fossils as they are formed from molten lava.

• Yes, but only if they are formed in water.

• No, fossils are only found in igneous rocks.

What is the impact of time and natural forces on rocks?

• They cause rocks to glow and shine.

• They cause rocks to weather and erode.

• They make rocks grow larger and heavier.

• They have no effect on rocks.

What are the three major classes of rocks?

• Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

• Granite, limestone, and basalt.

• Clay, silt, and sand.

• Volcanic, crystalline, and organic.

What is compacting in relation to sedimentary rocks?

• The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces.

• The process where sediments are pressed together under pressure, forming sedimentary rocks.

• The process of adding minerals to sediments to form rocks.

• The process of eroding rocks through wind and water.

What is sediment?

• Small pieces of rock, minerals, or organic material carried by water, wind, or ice.

• A type of soil used for planting crops.

• Large boulders that are found in mountains.

• A liquid form of water that erodes land.

What is erosion?

• The process of planting trees to prevent soil loss.

• The movement of sediments from place to place.

• The formation of new landforms through volcanic activity.

• The chemical breakdown of rocks and minerals.
