Total questions: 21
Worksheet time: 11mins
Types of rocks: What are the three main types of rocks?
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
Volcanic, sedimented, and metamorphosed
Granite, limestone, and marble
Hard, soft, and medium
Types of rocks: How are igneous rocks formed?
From the compression of organic materials
From the cooling of ocean water
From the evaporation of water
From the solidification of molten rock material
Types of rocks: What are the characteristics of sedimentary rocks?
Formed millions of years ago
Formed from volcanic activity
Formed from laying down of material from rivers and into the sea. Over time this is pressed downwards with the weight of the water forms layered rock.
Usually dug out of the Earth's mantle
Types of rocks: How are metamorphic rocks formed?
Through the process of heat and pressure acting on existing rocks
Through the process of volcanic activity
Through the process of chemical weathering
Through the process of erosion and sedimentation
Types of rocks: Give an example of each type of rock.
Igneous - Slate, Sedimentary - Shale, Metamorphic - Pumice
Igneous - Granite, Sedimentary - Sandstone, Metamorphic - Marble
Igneous - Obsidian, Sedimentary - Gneiss, Metamorphic - Chalk
Igneous - Limestone, Sedimentary - Basalt, Metamorphic - Quartz
Rock cycle: What is the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is a type of exercise routine involving lifting heavy rocks
The rock cycle is a popular rock band from the 1980s
The rock cycle is a method of cooking using only rocks
The rock cycle is a continuous process of rock formation, transformation, and breakdown.
Rock cycle: Explain the processes involved in the rock cycle.
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation, melting, crystallization, and metamorphism
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation
Sublimation, deposition, subduction
Photosynthesis, respiration, fermentation
Rock cycle: How do sedimentary rocks transform into metamorphic rocks?
Through the process of chemical weathering and dissolution.
By the process of cooling and solidification.
Through the process of erosion and weathering.
Through the process of heat and pressure.
Rock cycle: What role do heat and pressure play in the rock cycle?
They transform existing rocks into new types of rocks
They cause rocks to disappear completely
They turn rocks into liquid
They have no effect on the rock cycle
Rock cycle: Describe the role of erosion and weathering in the rock cycle.
Erosion and weathering turn rocks into liquid.
Erosion and weathering have no impact on the rock cycle.
Erosion and weathering break down rocks into smaller pieces, which then become sediment.
Erosion and weathering create new rocks from scratch.
