1) Rocks created by compacting and cementing are
A
fossiliferous
B
igneous
C
metamorphic
D
sedimentary
2) What processes work together to produce sediment?
A
cooling and hardening
B
compaction and cementation
C
weathering and erosion
D
heat and pressure
3) Sedimentary can become igneous rock by
A
compaction and cementation
B
heat and pressure
C
melting, cooling, and hardening
D
weathering and erosion
4) Which is a correct statement for a process in the rock cycle
A
magma can only form by compacting and cementing
B
metamorphic rock forms by crystalization
C
igneous rocks form by heat and pressure
D
sediment can only form by weathering, erosion, and deposition
5) The series of geological processes that transforms magma into granite, granite into sand, and sand into sandstone are
A
melting, heat and pressure, cooling
B
weathering and erosion, compacting and cementing, cooling
C
cooling, weathering and erosion, compacting and cementing
D
weathering and erosion, compacting and cementing, heat and pressure
6) Why is it near impossible for metamorphic rock to contain fossils?
A
they are formed from hot magma and the heat would destroy the fossils
B
they form from hot magma deep under the surface where organisms do not live
C
they undergo extremely high pressure or temperature change when formed which would destroy the fossils
D
these rocks are formed underwater, and the water dissolves the fossils
7) Rock formed by heat and pressure is
A
extrusive igneous
B
sedimentary
C
metamorphic
D
intrusive igneous
8) When sediment is _____?_______, sedimentary rock forms
A
weathered and eroded
B
melted and cooled
C
cooled and hardened
D
compacted and cemented
9) A true statement about the rock cycle is...
A
sedimentary can change to metamorphic rock, but not to igneous rock
B
heat, pressure, cooling, weathering, erosion, and deposition change rock
C
the formation of rock within the rock cycle ends after metamorphic rocks form
D
weathering occurs in igneous rock bur never in sedimentary or metamorphic rock
10) When rock breaks down into sand and gravel -?- is created.
A
magma
B
debris
C
humus
D
sediment
11) Sedimentary rock can change into igneous rock by
A
being cemented to other rock
B
melting, cooling, and hardening
C
extreme pressure until new minerals form
D
weathering and erosion
