Outcome G Practice Test

Rock that forms from the cooling of magma below the surface or lava at the surface is

called

• Sedimentary rock
• Metamorphic rock
• Igneous rock
• Volcanic rock

Where does most metamorphic rock form?

• At the surface

• Just below the surface

• Deep underground

• In ocean waters

Igneous rock that formed from lava that erupted onto Earth’s surface is called

• intrusive igneous rock
• sedimentary rock
• Clastic rock

• extrusive igneous rock

Heat and pressure deep beneath Earth’s surface can change any rock into

• Chemical rock

• Gemstones

• Metamorphic rock

• Sedimentary rock

In the rock cycle, what process could cause a metamorphic rock to become magma?

• Deposition and compaction
• Weathering and erosion
• Heat and pressure

• Melting

What type of rock forms when magma cool and harden?

• Volcanic rock
• Metamorphic rock
• Igneous rock
• Sedimentary rock

Identify the pathway through the rock cycle in which igneous rock can become metamorphic rock.

• Metamorphic rock cooling rapidly in the mantle
• Heat & Pressure

• Weathering & Erosion to Sediment to Compaction and Cementation to

  Metamorphic

• Sedimentary rock melting due to volcanic activity
