Unit 5 Test Review

What is one type of sedimentary rock?

• granite

• obsidian

• limestone

• quartz

Which of the following is an example of chemical weathering?

• Freezing and thawing of water in the cracks of rocks.

• Acid rain falling on mountains

• Ocean waves breaking over rocks

• Wind blowing sand on sedimentary rocks

Which of the choices below support the process of weathering , erosion, and deposition as essential to the rock cycle?

• Igneous rock is created by weathering and erosion.

• Erosion moves sediment and cementation occurs to form metamorphic rock.

• weathering breaks down rock and erosion moves the sediments to form new rock

• Wind and water erode rock and carry it to places of weathering for the rock cycle to take place.

Which choice correctly shows how sedimentary rock is formed?

• weathering-> sediments->erosion->cementation->deposition->compaction->sedimentary rock.

• weathering-> sediments->erosion->compaction-> sedimentary rock

• weathering-> sediments->erosion->deposition->compaction->cementation->sedimentary rock

• weathering-> sediments->erosion->cementation->deposition->sedimentary rock.

Which best describes how igneous rock is transformed into metamorphic rock?

• Igneous rock melts to form metamorphic rock.

• metamorphic rock must follow the rock cycle by transforming into sedimentary rock through heat and pressure.

• Igneous rock must go through the sedimentary process to change into metamorphic rock.

• Igneous rock is chemically changed by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rock.

Lava cools to form igneous rock then erosion moves the rock to be deposited and cementation and compaction occur. The sedimentary rock is pushed below the surface and exposed to great heat and pressure. What is missing form the rock cycle description?

• Science

• The magma is not cemented

• Weathering is not listed as a process.

• What is a sedimentary rock

What is a convergent plate boundary?

• Where two tectonic plates move apart.

• Where two plates move towards each other.

• Where two plates slide passed each other.

• Where seafloor spreading occurs

How was the Florida beach landscape formed?

• plate movement

• weathering and erosion

• volcanic activity

• heat and pressure

Metamorphic rock is formed by_______________.

• weathering and erosion

• low heat and extreme pressure

• low pressure and intense heat.

• extreme heat and pressure

What is an observational study?

• In an observational study variables are manipulated and data is recorded.

• Using imperial evidence we can recognize differences that may need to be studied further.

• science
