In which type of rock might you see a fossil?
Marble
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock
How are metamorphic rocks created?
Cooling and crystallizing as it moves away from the core
Formed from pieces of other rock
None of these options are correct.
Heat and pressure as they move toward the core
When rocks are deeply buried, placing them under pressure because of the weight of overlying layers, this is called:
lithification
cementation
deposition
compaction
According to the diagram, Igneous rock becomes Metamorphic by melting and cooling.

How are rocks classified?
How they are formed, their composition, and their texture
Their composition, their size, and their weight.
Their mass and their composition
How they are formed, their weight, and their color
Which type of igneous rocks are formed by cooling UNDER the surface?
Intrusive
Extrusive
Using public transportation, like trains and buses, rather than cars helps conserve nonrenewable resources because public transportation -
needs more water to maintain than the same number of cars
uses less fossil fuels to move people from place to place
involves using much more paper for printed materials
To save and use a resource carefully
Renewable
Nonrenewable
Conservation

True or false. When you conserve you use less resources to save energy.
True
False
True of false. When you reduce, reuse, and recycle you are conserving natural resources?
True
False
To CONVERT WASTE INTO REUSABLE new MATERIAL.
WASTE
CONSERVATION
RECYCLE
Fossil fuels include coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels are classified as nonrenewable because they -
take millions of years to be replaced
require expensive equipment

What are some water conservation methods?
Taking shorter showers
Fixing leaky faucets
Using water-efficient appliances
All of the above
The release of harmful waste into the environment is known as...?

Smog
Pollution
Acid Rain
Which of these is a disadvantage (bad thing) of fossil fuels?
