Rock/Rock Cycle Quiz

If heat and pressure inside the Earth cause a rock to melt, the material that formed would be

• Metamorphic
• Magma
• Sedimentary
• Igneous

Fossils are only found in

• Sedimentary rocks
• Foliated Metamorphic rocks
• Igneous Rocks
• Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks

How can a Metamorphic rock become an Igneous rock?

• Weathering and Erosion

• Compaction and Cementation

• Heat and Pressurew

• Melting and cooling

This rock was another type of rock that was heated and compressed over time. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

Which is responsible for buried rock becoming exposed at Earth's surface?

• melting

• weathering and erosion

• Falling volcanic ash

• cooling

Which type of rock forms from extreme heat and pressure?

• Igneous
• Sedimentary
• Organic
• Metamorphic

What are the 3 major types of rocks?

• Igneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary
• Metamorphic, Igneous, Cementation
• Brown, Red, Gray
• Streak, Hardness, Breakage

When weathering breaks rocks into pieces, what do we call those smaller pieces?

• texture
• weathering
• sediment
• erosion

Which of these actions must take place in order for sedimentary rock to change into igneous rock ?

• The sedimentary rock melted and became magma.

• Sedimentary minerals dissolved in water to form igneous rock

• The sedimentary rock broke down into smaller pieces and then was melted and then cooled to form igneous rock

• The sedimentary rock was exposed to extreme heat and pressure.

The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves eroded rocks and soil from one place to another.

• weathering

• erosion

• deposition

• dumptruck
