What two processes are essential to the creation of sedimentary rock?
sedimentation and lithification
cementation and sedimentation
compaction and cementation
creation and dictation
select all 3 types of soft sediment
silt
glass
sand
mud
porcelain
"Lith" means...
(a)
During compaction, sediment is squeezed together causing the volume of soft sediment to
increase
decrease
stay the same
What two minerals usually fill the spaces between soft sediment during the cementation process?
faldite
calcite
dynamite
quartz
diorite
Choose all that apply:
Sedimentary rock characteristics include...
preserves signs of life such as fossils and animal tracks
usually dark in color and shiny. May also contain bubbles
generally arranged in layers known as strata
formed by heat and pressure
using light gray or brown in color
Metamorphic rock usually starts as
igneous rock
metamorphic rock
sedimentary rock
igneous and sedimentary rock
metamorphic and igneous rock
Metamorphic rock can only be formed underground.
True
False
Blank Answer Choice(Do not Choose)
What two agents of metamorphic rock usually work together and increase as you move deeper inside of the Earth?
heat
strain
fluids
pressure
What are the two scales of metamorphism?
Contact(Local) & Non-Contact
Contact(Local) & Regional
Regional & Trans-Regional
What scale of metamorphism usually occurs deep underground during mountain-building episodes?
Contact(local) metamorphism
Regional metamorphism
Transregional metamorphism
Local metamorphism occurs when igneous intrusions get very close to earth's surface. This usually changes sedimentary and igneous rock into metamorphic rock due to the intense
heat
pressure
fluids
strain
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and/or crystallization of
lava
magma
ONLY lava
ONLY magma
Extrusive Igneous rock is formed from
lava
magma
Lava or magma
Intrusive igneous rock is formed from
lava
magma
lava & magma
The deeper the magma is beneath Earth's surface, the ________ the magma cools, and the ______ the mineral crystal size in an igneous rock becomes.
slower ; smaller
faster ; larger
slower ; larger
faster ; larger
Choose the agents of Erosion
water
waves
wind
ice
gravity
What does the "S" in the acronym S.A.F.E.TE stand for?
( 5 types of mechanical weathering)
(a)
what two processes produce sand, silt, mud, and clay?
Weathering and erosion
sedimentation and lithification
process of elimination
cementation and compaction
Where does the rock cycle begin?
soft sediments such as sand, silt, mud, and clay
lava or magma
through the core of mountain ranges
Ms. LeBeaux, this is a trick question!
