What is the major process of surface rock formation on volcanoes?

• Rock cools quickly from melted rock.
• Rock is recrystallized by extreme pressure.
• Rock solidifies slowly deep underground.
• Rock is formed from deposited sediment.

Which feature does not result from seismic activity?

• faults
• volcanoes
• glacial deposits
• folded rock layers

Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is famous for having many formations called hoodoos. Hoodoos are tall structures made of sedimentary rock the hoodoo formation diagram shows the processes that create these unique rock structures. Select the two main geological processes that create the hoodoos?

• erosion
• deposition
• weathering
• volcanic activity
• tectonic movement

Which statement describes how rock characteristics affect rates of weathering?

• Rocks with metamorphic rock weather more quickly than sedimentary rocks.
• Rocks with gaps and cracks weather more quickly than rocks with smooth surfaces.
• Rocks without minerals weather more quickly than rocks made up Of many minerals.
• Rocks that are buried deep underground weather more quickly than rocks at the surface.
