fossiliferous
D
metamorphic
2) What processes work together to produce sediment?
A
compaction and cementation
B
cooling and hardening
C
heat and pressure
D
weathering and erosion
3) Sedimentary can become igneous rock by
A
heat and pressure
B
weathering and erosion
C
melting, cooling, and hardening
D
compaction and cementation
4) Which is a correct statement for a process in the rock cycle
A
metamorphic rock forms by crystalization
B
igneous rocks form by heat and pressure
C
sediment can only form by weathering, erosion, and deposition
D
magma can only form by compacting and cementing
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
cooling, weathering and erosion, compacting and cementing
C
weathering and erosion, compacting and cementing, heat and pressure
D
weathering and erosion, compacting and cementing, cooling
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
these rocks are formed underwater, and the water dissolves the fossils
C
they undergo extremely high pressure or temperature change when formed which would destroy the fossils
D
they form from hot magma deep under the surface where organisms do not live
7) Rock formed by heat and pressure is
A
metamorphic
B
sedimentary
C
intrusive igneous

extrusive igneous

A
compacted and cemented

cooled and hardened
C
weathered and eroded
D
melted and cooled
9) A true statement about the rock cycle is...
A
heat, pressure, cooling, weathering, erosion, and deposition change rock
B
weathering occurs in igneous rock bur never in sedimentary or metamorphic rock
C
the formation of rock within the rock cycle ends after metamorphic rocks form
D
sedimentary can change to metamorphic rock, but not to igneous rock
10) When rock breaks down into sand and gravel -?- is created.
A
humus
B
magma
C
sediment
D
debris
11) Sedimentary rock can change into igneous rock by
A
being cemented to other rock
B
weathering and erosion
C
extreme pressure until new minerals form
D
melting, cooling, and hardening
