Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.

1) What is involved in the formation of a sedimentary rock?

AWeathering, erosion, and compaction BHeat and pressure CCrystallization DMelting and cooling

2) What is involved in the formation of a metamorphic rock?

AWeathering, erosion, and compaction BMelting and cooling CHeat and pressure DNone of the above

3) What is involved in the formation of an igneous rock?

AHeat and pressure BNone of the above CMelting and cooling DWeathering, erosion, and compaction

4) A rock has slipped into the mantle and undergone an increase in temperature and pressure. What rock will it change into?

ASedimentary BMetamorphic CIgneous DNone of the above

5) A pigeon drops a rock into a volcano and it melts into magma. Eventually, the volcano explodes and kills everyone in its path. The magma cools and forms a new rock. What rock is formed?

ASedimentary BNone of the above CIgneous DMetamorphic

6) Over time, ice wears away at the road and rain carries sediments away. The sediments all eventually compact to form what type of rock?

ANone of the above BIgneous CMetamorphic DSedimentary

7) What does the stem SED mean?

Afire (like rocks melt in hot magma) Bsit (like sediments sit on top of each other) CNone of the above Dchange (like rocks change form from heat and pressure)

8) What does the stem META mean?

ANone of the above Bfire (like rocks melt in hot magma) Cchange (like rocks change form from heat and pressure) Dsit (like sediments sit on top of each other)

9) What does the stem IGN mean?

Asit (like sediments sit on top of each other) Bchange (like rocks change form from heat and pressure) CNone of the above Dfire (like rocks melt in hot magma)

10) Are rocks always the same?

ANo - sometimes order new ones on Amazon BYes - we created them as they are now CNo - they change all the time due to the rock cycle DYes - they never change
