Unit 4 Rocks Review

How can sedimentary rock form in the ocean?

• Rivers and winds can carry sediment particles into the ocean, where they sink and cement into layers of sedimentary rock.

• racks can open on the ocean floor through which magma flows, forming sedimentary rock as it cools and hardens.

• Material on the ocean floor can harden into sedimentary rock as the low temperature causes it to clump and freeze.

• Material on the ocean floor can warp into sedimentary rock as the weight of the ocean creates high pressure and heat.

Slate forms when shale rock is exposed to heat and pressure what type of rock is slate?

• sedimentary

Which of the following correctly lists the steps of sedimentary rock formation?

• Weathering and erosion break down large rocks into sediment. → Wind and water move and help the sediment particles collected. → Particles are compacted and cemented into new sedimentary rock.

• High heat and pressure compact large rocks into sediments. → Particles are compacted and cemented into new sedimentary rock. → Wind and water move and help the sediment particles collected

• Wind and water move and help the sediment particles collected. → High heat and pressure compact large rocks into sediments. → Particles are melted and cooled into new sedimentary rock.

• Particles are compacted and cemented into new sedimentary rock. → High heat and pressure compact large rocks into sediments. → Particles are compacted and cemented into new sedimentary rock.

Lorna decided to study rocks while on vacation in Hawaii. Which type is she most likely to find in Hawaii?

• She will find mainly igneous rock, because Hawaii has and was formed by active volcanoes.

• She will find mainly sedimentary rock, because Hawaii has high winds and ocean currents.

• She will find mainly sedimentary rock, because Hawaii has a large amount of organic plant matter.

• She will find mainly metamorphic rock, because Hawaii always has high temperatures.

Oil deposits sometimes form under and within sedimentary rock formations at the bottom of the ocean. This happens partially due to the sediment particles

• reducing the amount of decaying plants and animals.

• bringing decaying plants and animals to the surface.

• pressing down on decaying plants and animals.

• cooling decaying plants and animals

Metamorphic rock is formed when

• sedimentary and igneous rocks change over time under heat and pressure.

• earthquakes shake up the rocks so they are broken into small pieces.

• sedimentary rocks are broken down over time by wind and rain.

• lava that erupts from a volcano cools in the atmosphere.

What type of rock is A?

• sedimentary

• metamorphic

• igneous

• magma

What is the process by which physical forces reduce the size of rock particles without changing the chemical nature of the rock?

• carbonification

• oxidative weathering

• physical weathering

• hydrolysis
