Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 8mins
Lava is
molten or liquid rock underground
molten rock that erupts on Earth's surface
a type of rock formed from magma
a fragment that makes up a rock
Magma is
molten or liquid rock underground
molten rock that erupts on Earth's surface
a type of rock formed from magma
a fragment that makes up a rock
A rock is
a naturally occurring, inorganic solid
a natural, solid mixture of minerals or grains
molten or liquid material that is deep beneath Earth's surface
a halloween treat
What do geologists call the fragments that make up a rock?
sediment
texture
grain
lava
How do geologists classify rocks?
Based on how they form.
Based on where they are found.
Based on their density.
Based on their mass.
What do geologists call the small pieces of rock formed when rocks break down?
sediment
texture
grain
lava
The grain size and the way grains fit together in a rock is called
sediment
texture
igneous
metamorphic
Define rock cycle
the process through which all minerals are formed
the process that changes wastewater into drinking water
the process that makes a rock smooth
the process that changes one rock type into another
Igneous rock forms
where sediment is deposited, compacted, and cemented
as the result of erosion and deposition
when rocks are exposed to extreme temperature, pressure, or chemical fluids
from magma as it cools underground and crystallizes
Sedimentary rock forms
where sediment is deposited, compacted and cemented
as the result of lava reaching the Earth's surface
when rocks are exposed to extreme temperature, pressure, or chemical fluids
from magma as it cools underground and crystallizes
Metamorphic rock forms
where sediment is deposited, compacted and cemented
as the result of lava reaching the Earth's surface
when rocks are exposed to extreme temperature, pressure, or chemical fluids
from magma as it cools underground and crystallizes
Each rock type can follow only one pathway of the rock cycle.
True
False
Metamorphic rock can form from...
Only igneous rock
Igneous and sedimentary rock
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock
Only sedimentary rock
How does magma become Igneous rock?
it erupts
it cools and crystallizes
it weathers and is eroded then deposited
it melts
Uplift is when...
Extreme heat and pressure cause metamorphic rock
Pressure above Earth's surface moves rocks down below
Pressure below Earth's surface moves rocks up to the surface
Pressure I feel when I take a test!
