Common Rock Test

For an igneous rock to become a sedimentary rock it must first

• get melted.
• get weathered.
• get deposited.
• get pressured.

A sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic rock through

• melting and cooling
• weathering, erosion and deposition
• volcanism
• extreme pressure

An igneous rocks with a fine grain texture would be

• extrusive
• intrusive
• construsive
• diorite

What type of rock would you find fossils in?

• igneous
• sedimentary
• metamorphic
• classic

Sedimentary rocks can be divided into which two subtypes?

• Foliated and Non-foliated
• Clastic and Non-clastic
• Chemical and Foliated
• Chemical and Clastic

During water erosion, the _______ the sediment the farther it will travel before being deposited.

• more round
• larger
• smaller
• more angular

Intrusive igneous rocks form

• on the surface.
• with fine crystal grains.
• by cooling slowly.
• from sediments.

If granite undergoes extreme heat and pressure deep within Earth, what type of rock will be formed?

• a sedimentary rock
• a metamorphic rock
• a stagnant rock
• an igneous rock

Which of the following represents the correct order involved in sedimentary rock formation?

• erosion, compaction, deposition
• compaction, deposition, erosion
• deposition, compaction, weathering
• weathering, deposition, compaction

Igneous rock have different textures due to their

• compositions.
• cooling rates.
• geographical locations.
• oil content.
