a)
True
b)
False
9.

where magma is extruded from the subsurface and cooled
b)
on the Earth;s surface near river channels
c)
at passive margins

True or False: Earth processes can transform any of the three rock types into another rock type.
a)
True
b)
False
12.
How does Calcite (found in limestone) form?
a)
Calcium carbonate sediment is eroded from silicicastic rocks that is later formed as calcite
b)
Microscopic marine organisms precipitate shells of calcium carbonate that break down into sediment to form Calcite.
c)
When clastic sedimentary rock erode, they leave behind the mineral calcite.
13.
If you are looking at a piece of granite that has big, easy to see crystals, what details do we know about the rock?
a)
It formed in the subsurface and the magma that intruded itself cooled quickly
b)
It formed in the subsurface and the magma that intruded itself cooled slowly
c)
It formed on the surface of the Earth and the magma that extruded itself on the Earth's surface cooled slowly
d)
It formed on the surface of the Earth and the magma that extruded itself on the Earth's surface cooled quickly
14.
Why do hard rocks tend to form rugged topography, whereas soft rocks tend to form gentle landscapes?
a)
The hard rocks were most likely uplifted more compared to the soft rocks.
b)
Harder rocks are more common, so they form more rugged topographies.
c)
Some rocks resist erosion while other rocks erode more easily.
d)
The sediment that form hard and soft rocks are deposited in that manner.
