metamorphic rock
Why igneous extrusive rock cools down faster and solidify quickly?
because of the presence of atmosphere or water.
because of the presence of other chemical elements.
because of its exposure to an extremely hot environment.
because the temperature is much higher than deep below the surface.
Igneous rocks are formed through the process called
exothermic and endothermic (melting & crystallization)
lithification

erosion
metamorphism

Which of the following is not true about sedimentary rocks?
Most of these rocks exposed on the earth’s surface.
This rock are formed when sediment is compacted & cemented together.
It usually formed layer by layer, with the oldest layer on the bottom, these layers are called strata.
Large part of the Earth’s crust is composed of this rock type.
Which of the following type of rock is derived from mechanical weathering which involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller ones at the surface of the crust, accumulate as clasts, piled on top of one another and “lithified”?
clastic sedimentary rock
chemical sedimentary rock
organic sedimentary rock
physical sedimentary rock
Which of the following type of rock is form when dissolved minerals undergo the process of precipitation (separates a solid substance from a liquid)?
clastic sedimentary rock
chemical sedimentary rock
organic sedimentary rock
physical sedimentary rock
Which of the following type of rock is form by the accumulation of sedimentary debris caused by organic process? Theses are rocks that may contain fossils of plants and animals trapped in the sediments as the rock was formed.
clastic sedimentary rock
chemical sedimentary rock
organic sedimentary rock
physical sedimentary rock
Why fossils are usually found in sedimentary rocks?
because the fossils are already in the locations where sediment is likely to bury them.
because sedimentary rocks are not exposed to extreme and hot environment.
because of the heat and pressure in the surroundings.
because fossils are selective.
