Which is the only type of rock that can contain fossils?
igneous
metamorphic
sedimentary
Why will intrusive igneous rocks have big mineral grains?
magma cools very slowly and big crystals form
there is a lot of heat and pressure added to the rock
water deposits large minerals near a volcano
lava cools very quickly on the surface of the Earth
Sedimentary rock is formed from_________.
cooling of magma or lava
melting
compacting and cementing
heat and pressure
Metamorphic rock is formed from _________.
melting
weathering and erosion
compacting and cementing
heat and pressure
Igneous rock is formed from ___________,
cooling of magma or lava
heat and pressure
compacting and cementing
weathering and erosion
Which type of rock will have ribbon-like layers?
igneous
metamorphic
sedimentary
What makes holes and a glass-like look to igneous rocks?
magma cooling quickly inside the earth
compacting of sediment
lava cooling quickly on the surface of the earth
What is added to make sediments push together?
pressure
heat
magma
What causes igneous rock to have tiny holes (vesicular texture)?
cementing of sediment
pressure that makes layers
gas bubbles that were trapped in lava as it cooled
This is Pumice. This is an __________ igneous rock because it cooled very quickly and produced holes.
intrusive
extrusive
This is Gabbro. This is an _________________ igneous rock because the big mineral grains show that it cooled very slowly.
intrusive
extrusive
What are sedimentary rocks made of?
Sediments, fossils and clay
Sediments, Dead organisms and fossils

Volcanic
Non-Volcanic
Which of the following processes allow sedimentary rocks to be produced?
melting

extreme heat and pressure
melting so that magma can be produced
What determines the texture (crystal size) of an igneous rock?

rate of cooling
type of minerals
types of sediments
The texture of a metamorphic rock that has grains arranged in parallel layers is described as
foliated (banded).
jagged grained.
coarse grained.
non foliated (nonbanded).
Identify the rock type: Shells of different animals fall to the bottom of the ocean. Over time, these shells are broken down into smaller pieces and combine with sand and bone to become a rock. This is an example of a(n) _____.
Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
Mineral

Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
Mineral
This type of rock comes from liquid rock and might contain holes from gases (examples are basalt, granite, and obsidian)
sedimentary
igneous
metamorphic
