The production of coal requires many steps, beginning with peat moss and followed by: peat buried by sediment, water squeezed out of peat by pressure, and addition of heat and more pressure. This entire process takes place:
over millions of years
over a 12 month period
over the life span of the moss plant
over the span of a decade (10 years)
Coal is formed from dead plant and animal materials that have been covered by
sheets of ice
stacks of wood
layers of sediment
gallons of water
Coal, oil, and natural gas are called fossil fuels. Which of the following BEST explains why they are given this name?
They are found near petrified logs
They form in bone-shaped paterns
They remain at the surface of the Earth's crust.
They form from the remains of ancient organisms.
Certain prehistoric events led to the formation of oil. Which of the following was one of these events?
Microscopic life in the sea died and was buried under sediment
Giant wind storms destroyed forests.
Icebergs melted at the North and South poles.
Heavy flooding soaked the Earth's crust.
Which of the following natural resources is formed from dead animal and plant materials that have been buried and comporessed?
granite
metal ores
natural gas
water
What type of rock is formed by weathering and layering?
mineral
igneous
sedimentary
metamorphic
Which process is NOT a stage in the formation of Fossil Fuels?
Compaction of fossils and layers of sediment
Fossilization of dead plants and animals
Deposition to create layers of sediment
Eruption of liquids and gases for collections
A three step process is listed.
Deposition. Compaction. Cementation.
Which of these are most likely formed by the process shown?
Glaciers
Mountains
Sand dunes
Sedimentary Rocks
Which of these best describes the process of erosion?
rocks are broken into smaller pieces that remain in the same location
pressure compacts layers of sediment and turns them into rock
pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another
sediment grains fall to the bottom of a lake to form sedimentary layers
Which of the following directly led to the formation of sedimentary rock?
Heat & Pressure

Over long periods of time, fossil fuels form deep underground. Which components are related
to the formation of fossil fuels?
lava, sand, and decayed animals
decayed plants, lava, and minerals
decayed plants and animals and water from oceans
decayed plants and animals and sedimentary rock
Which of the following statements describes the first step in the formation of sedimentary
rocks?
Overlying pressure from rocks and soil reduces the size or volume of sediments.
Weathered material is moved by wind, water, or ice.
Exposed rock and other surfaces are broken down by wind, water, ice, or other elements.
Weathered and eroded material is deposited by wind, water, or ice.
Which of the following processes leads to the formation of fossil fuels?
horses and cattle eating grass
water evaporating from the ocean
rocks weathered into small pebbles
organisms buried under layers of rock

The particles in some sedimentary rocks were originally large boulders broken down by -
heat and pressure
melting and cooling
erosion and weathering
compacting and cementation
Which of the following best explains how layers of sediment on the floor of the ocean can become rock over many years?
Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock
the weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock
changing water temperatures turn sand into sediment into rock
pollution caused by humans turns the sediment into rock
Some students make a model to
show one of the first steps in the
formation of sedimentary rock. The
students pour 2 centimeters of lightcolored
sand into a clear plastic box.
Then they add 1 centimeter of gravel.
Finally they pour 2 centimeters of
dark-colored sand on top of the
gravel. Which characteristic of
sedimentary rock does this model
best show?
Sedimentary rock is made of layers
sedimentary rock is cemented bits of rock
sedimentary rock is often limestone
sedimentary rock is common in Texas
Which of these environments could form coal if the area is buried for a long time?
Fossil fuels, such as oil, can be found
in ancient ocean or sea beds, where
pressure and bacteria have —
melted plant and animal remains
into magma.
transformed plant and animal
remains into liquids.
burned plant and animal remains
into ashes.
hardened plant and animal
remains into rocks.
Fossil fuels and sedimentary rock
are similar because both form —
after years of intense pressure
after only a few weeks of
erosion.
from molten rock that has
cooled.
in regions open to free flowing
air.
The particles in sedimentary rocks
were originally large rocks. Most of
these large rocks were broken down
by —
rays of radiation from other planets
rivers, oceans, winds, and rain
magnetic forces
rays of sunshine
All of these processes are related to EXCEPT-
compaction
cementation
deposition
condensation
Rocks will break down into smaller pieces. What are those pieces called?
crust
sediment
fossils
plates
In most parts of the world, if you dig
a hole one-meter deep, you will find
different layers of dirt. If the layers
of dirt have not been disturbed,
which layer of dirt is the oldest?
the deepest layer is the oldest
the layer with the most rocks
the layer closest to the Earth's surface
the layer with the most fossils
Which process will lead to the formation of fossil fuels?
rocks breaking down into soil
earthquakes shift the Earth's crust
buried organisms change with heat and pressure over time
Which process is known as weathering?
rocks are broken down into small pieces of sediment
sediment is transported by wind or water
sediment drops out of the air or water as the wind or water slows down
the sediment is squeezed together pushing water or air out.
