Weathering Erosion Deposition And The Rock Cycle

Test Description: FCAT Practice

Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.

1) Which term defines weathering?

Athe breaking down of rocks Bthe forming of new rocks through cementation Cthe forming of rocks from heat and pressure Dthe moving of rocks and sediments from one place to another

2) When a volcano erupts, ash can enter Earth’s atmosphere. Eventually, the ash falls back down to Earth’s surface. Which term describes the falling of volcanic ash to Earth’s surface?

Aweathering Bdeposition Cerosion Dsubsidence

3) Over time, repeated cycles of heating and cooling can cause a rock to crack. The rock may then break into smaller pieces. What is this process called?

Aweathering Bdeposition Cerosion Dsubsidence

4) Erosion is a process that slowly changes rocks. Which of the following most likely causes pebbles in a stream to erode?

Afreezing and thawing Bflowing water Cforce of gravity Dmovement of ice

5) Deforestation occurs when large areas of trees are cut down. Which of the following impacts on the environment would result from deforestation?

AColder Temperatures BIncreased Erosion CIncreased Deposition DExcess Ground Moisture

6) Slate is a metamorphic rock that forms from shale, which is a sedimentary rock. Which of the following would be needed for slate to form from shale?

Aweathering Berosion and deposition Cmelting and solidification Dheat and pressure

7) Declan observed a rock that he found at the beach. The rock felt hard and appeared to made of several different layers of materials. What type of rock is Declan observing?

Asedimentary Bmetamorphic Cigneous Dmud rock

8) When ice freezes and causes rocks the size of the rock can increase. What process is being explained?

Achemical weathering Bdeposition Cerosion Dphysical weathering

9) Granite forms when liquid magma slowly cools within Earth’s crust. If the granite is exposed to intense heat and pressure, it can change to gneiss. Which type of change takes place when granite turns into gneiss?

AIgneous rock changes to metamorphic rock. BSedimentary rock changes to igneous rock. CSedimentary rock changes to metamorphic rock. DMetamorphic rock changes to igneous rock.

10) Mainly igneous rocks have been found in a specific area on land. Which natural event most likely took place in the area to form the rocks?

Avolcanic eruption Bflooding river Clandslide Dearthquake

11) Rocks and sediment change their form as they move through the rock cycle. Which change involves melting?

Alava to rock Brock to sediment Cmagma to lava Drock to magma

12) Over a long period of time, igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock. What must happen to igneous rock before it can change into sedimentary rock?

AIt must be broken down into sediment. BIts minerals must be dissolved in water. CIt must melt and become magma. DIt must be exposed to high pressure and temperature.

13) How does chemical weathering differ from physical weathering?

AChemical weathering is acid precipitation and pressure, and physical weathering is wind and temperature changes. BChemical weathering happens when the bonds that hold minerals together break; physical weathering happens when physical actio CChemical weathering does not break rocks down into smaller parts, but physical weathering does. DHuman activity causes chemical weathering but does not cause physical weathering.
