Types of Rocks review

What are metamorphic rocks?

• Rocks formed from volcanic activity.

• Rocks that are changed by heat and pressure.

• Rocks that are formed from sedimentation.

• Rocks that contain fossils.

What is the importance of the rock cycle?

• It explains how rocks change from one type to another over time.

• It describes the formation of mountains and valleys.

• It outlines the process of erosion and sedimentation.

• It details the types of minerals found in rocks.

What are intrusive igneous rocks?

• Rocks that form on the Earth's surface

• Rocks that form from volcanic activity

• Rocks that form inside the Earth

• Rocks that are formed by erosion

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• They are formed from volcanic activity.

• They are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediment.

• They are formed from the cooling of magma.

• They are formed from the metamorphism of igneous rocks.

What are the two types of igneous rocks?

• Intrusive and extrusive

• Sedimentary and metamorphic

• Volcanic and plutonic

• Granite and basalt

What is the main component of sedimentary rocks?

• Sediment, which includes tiny bits of rock and minerals.

• Igneous rock fragments.

• Metamorphic minerals.

• Organic matter from decomposed plants.

What is the rock cycle?

• The rock cycle is the continuous process of rock formation and transformation.

• The rock cycle is a method of classifying different types of rocks.

• The rock cycle refers to the movement of rocks from one place to another.

• The rock cycle is a process that only occurs in volcanic regions.

What is deposition?

• The process where sediments settle out of the water or wind.

• The process of eroding rocks into smaller pieces.

• The process of water evaporating from a surface.

• The process of plants absorbing nutrients from the soil.

What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive rocks?

• Intrusive rocks form on the surface, while extrusive rocks form inside the Earth.

• Intrusive rocks are formed from volcanic activity, while extrusive rocks are formed from sedimentation.

• Intrusive rocks form inside the Earth, while extrusive rocks form on the surface.

• Intrusive rocks are always igneous, while extrusive rocks are always sedimentary.

What are extrusive igneous rocks?

• Rocks that form deep within the Earth

• Rocks that form on the Earth's surface

• Rocks that are formed from sediment

• Rocks that are formed by the cooling of magma underground
