Which of the following statements is true?

• Metamorphic rocks form by burial and cementing of sediments

• Igneous rocks form by weathering and erosion of other rocks

• Igneous rocks form by the melting and solidification of magma

• Sedimentary rocks form by heat and pressure applied to other rocks

Sedimentary rocks form from all the following except

• Remains of living things

• Minerals in solution/liquid

• Small pieces of plastic

• Small pieces of rock and sand

What processes are involved in the making of metamorphic rock?

• melting and cooling

• compaction and sedimentation

• heat and pressure

• weathering and erosion

The ________ shows how rocks are not created or destroyed by just change form

• Water cycle

• Rock cycle

• Carbon cycle

• Nitrogen Cycle

Which of the following can you correctly conclude about igneous rock cooling?

• The faster igneous rock cools, the larger the crystals.

• The slower igneous rock cools, the larger the crystals.

• The rate of cooling for igneous rock does not relate to the crystal size

• Crystals are found in all types of igneous rocks

Why does magma tend to rise toward Earth's surface?

• It is more dense than the surrounding rocks

• It is more massive than the surrounding rocks

• It is cooler than the surrounding rocks

• It is less dense than the surrounding rocks

What do igneous rocks form from?

• Sediment and magma

• Magma and lava

• other rocks

• Metamorphic rock and lava

This rock was fored by smaller pieces of rock that settled at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago. Next, they are compacted and cemented together. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

• Crystals

During which process do minerals flow into spaces between sediment grains?

• Compaction

• Cementation

• Weathering

• Erosion

It is the remains of a much larger extinct volcano. Which of the following describes the process of this rock?

• Shiprock was formed by igneous process

• Shiprock was formed by sedimentary process

• Shiprock was formed by metamorphic process

• Shiprock was formed by deformation and recrystallization
