Which of the following statements about rock deformation is false?
deep crustal rocks are more likely to deform ductility than shallow crustal rocks

most sedimentary rocks are more deformable than igneous rocks
rocks under low confining pressure are more likely to deform ductility than rocks under high confining pressure
Which statement is TRUE for the deformation of rocks to occur?
Deformation must be applied abruptly.
Pressure must exceed the internal strength of the rock.
The lower the temperature of the rock. The more elastic it becomes.

Which of the following is NOT true about metamorphism?
Slate and gneiss are examples of foliated rock.
Contact metamorphism creates non-foliated rocks
Pressure is the main factor of contact metamorphism
Magma will bake the surrounding rocks due to differences in temperature
Which of the following relationship is INCORRECT?
Fine-grain : slate

Clastic
Extrusive
Intrusive
Non-clastic
Which of the following is TRUE about intrusive rocks?
They have fine grains.
They are usually dark.
They are formed from lava.
They have usually low density.
Wavy bands of light and dark minerals visible to gneiss bedrock probably formed from the
Cementing together of individual mineral grains
Cooling and crystallization of magma
Evaporation of an ancient ocean
Heat and pressure during metamorphism
How do temperature and pressure affect metamorphism?
Pressure and temperature increase as you go up to the crust.
The deeper the rock depth, the higher the pressure and temperature.
Foliation happens as there is an increase in the pressure and temperature
Magma cannot bake the surrounding rocks due to the difference in temperature.

Large or small crystals
Plutonic and volcanic
coarse or fine grains
From magma or lava
