Rocks-specifics

What are the 3 different kinds of rocks?

• Igneous

  sedimentary

  metamorphic

• magma

  basalt

  strata

• foliated

  nonfoliated

• intrusive

  extrusive

Which type of rock is formed from cooled lava or magma?

• Foliated

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

The four types of metamorphic rocks are

• Igneous, shale, diamond, slate

• Sedimentary, magma, tectonic plates,

  flowers

• Volcanic rock, kryptonite, shells, chocolate

• Foliated, Non-foliated, Regional, Contact

Which type of rock is formed under heat and pressure?

• Sedimentary rock

• Igneous rock

• Metamorphic rock

• Mineral rock

Answer explanation

Metamorphic rock is formed when existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing physical and chemical changes. In contrast, sedimentary rocks form from sediment, and igneous rocks originate from cooled magma.

What is the term for the natural substance that makes up rocks?

• Lava

• Minerals

• Magma

• Streak color

Answer explanation

The term for the natural substance that makes up rocks is 'minerals'. Minerals are solid, naturally occurring substances with a defined chemical composition, while lava and magma are molten rock, and streak color refers to the color of a mineral's powder.
