Geology and Oil Exploration Quiz

How are Igneous rocks formed?

• By high pressure and temperature

• Formed By hot, molten rock crystallizing and solidifying

• By the accumulation of organic materials

• By sedimentation

• She is cooking dinner

• She is sewing a new dress

• She is reading a book

• She is painting

How are Sedimentary rocks formed?

• By cooling molten lava

• By exposure to high temperatures and pressure

• Formed By the accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles

• By the crystallization of magma

The unproductive rocks, usually igneous and metamorphic rocks underlying the sedimentary rocks, are called:

• Reservoir rocks

• Basement rocks

• Source rocks

• Trap rocks

How are Metamorphic rocks formed?

• By cooling of magma

• Formed By the exposure of igneous and sedimentary rocks to high temperatures and pressures

• By the deposition of organic materials

• By volcanic eruption

What is formed when the molten melt is cooled?

• Sedimentary rock

• Metamorphic rock

• Igneous rock

• Fossil fuels

Organic sediments are formed:

• Chemically

• Biologically

• Through volcanic activity

• By physical erosion
