Rock formation Crystallization Solidification Rock melting 4 / 20 Sedimentary rocks made up of broken pieces of minerals and rocks Intrusive Biochemical Extrusive Clastic 5 / 20 What is the size of crystals found in extrusive igneous rocks? entirely made up of crystals fine-sized or no crystals large-sized crystals different-sized crystals 6 / 20 Which type of rocks are formed from lava? Intrusive igneous rocks Extrusive igneous rocks Metamorphic rocks Sedimentary rocks 7 / 20 The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce ____ mineral grains. invisible large tiny fine-grained 8 / 20 Rock that forms when molten rock cools Metamorphic Sedimentary Igneous Limestone 9 / 20 ................. is the process that creates rock from sediments. Deposition Compaction Cementation Lithification 10 / 20 Obsidian, is a volcanic rock that can be found on the Earth's surface. Which statement is TRUE about Obsidian rock? Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has no crystals. Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has large crystals. Obsidian is an intrusive rock and has large crystals. Obsidian is an intrusive rock and has no crystals. 11 / 20 Where are the igneous rocks formed? in deserts in areas of earthquake activity in oceans in areas of volcanic activity 12 / 20 How are sedimentary rocks formed? Sedimentary rocks are the result of the crystallization of molten rocks. Sedimentary rocks are the result of the accumulation of sediment deposits as layers. Sedimentary rocks are formed as a result of chemical reactions between minerals. Sedimentary rocks are the result of weathering and breaking the mountain into smaller pieces. 13 / 20 What conditions are required for metamorphic rocks to form? Rock cycle Low temperature High pressure High temperature 14 / 20 Which statement is correct regarding metamorphic rock formation? Weathering and erosion cause rocks to break down to form metamorphic rocks. Small pieces of rocks are buried, squeezed, and cemented together. The temp. inside Earth is cooler which allows metamorphic rocks to form more quickly The deeper into Earth’s crust, the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks 15 / 20 Sedimentary rocks are changed to sediments by ____. heat and pressure weathering and erosion compaction cementation 16 / 20 Minerals dissolved in surrounding water crystalize between grains of sediment "gluing" them together Compaction Chemical Cementation Close to the sea 17 / 20 The following processes are necessary for rock formation EXCEPT __________. Boiling Evaporation and condensation Weathering, erosion, and deposition Compaction and cementation 18 / 20 The weight of layers of sediments forces out fluids and decreases space between pieces of sediment Intrusive Cementation Extrusive Compaction 19 / 20 Which sediment size is deposited first when wind, water, or glaciers slow down? the heaviest sediment is deposited first the size of sediment doesn't affect its deposition the lightest sediment is deposited first sediments with all sizes deposit at the same time 20 / 20 Sedimentary rocks formed by organisms or the remains of organisms biochemical mountain chemical clastic Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
