Deposition Compaction Cementation Lithification 3 / 20 Which type of rocks are formed from lava? Metamorphic rocks Extrusive igneous rocks Sedimentary rocks Intrusive igneous rocks 4 / 20 What conditions are required for metamorphic rocks to form? Low temperature High pressure High temperature Rock cycle 5 / 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 large crystals. Obsidian is an intrusive rock and has large crystals. Obsidian is an intrusive rock and has no crystals. Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has no crystals. 6 / 20 Where are the igneous rocks formed? in oceans in areas of volcanic activity in areas of earthquake activity in deserts 7 / 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. 8 / 20 The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce ____ mineral grains. fine-grained large tiny invisible 9 / 20 Minerals dissolved in surrounding water crystalize between grains of sediment "gluing" them together Compaction Close to the sea Chemical Cementation 10 / 20 The following processes are necessary for rock formation EXCEPT __________. Weathering, erosion, and deposition Compaction and cementation Boiling Evaporation and condensation 11 / 20 Sedimentary rocks made up of broken pieces of minerals and rocks Biochemical Extrusive Clastic Intrusive 12 / 20 What is the size of crystals found in extrusive igneous rocks? large-sized crystals different-sized crystals fine-sized or no crystals entirely made up of crystals 13 / 20 Which sediment size is deposited first when wind, water, or glaciers slow down? the lightest sediment is deposited first the size of sediment doesn't affect its deposition sediments with all sizes deposit at the same time the heaviest sediment is deposited first 14 / 20 What term is used to describe the cooling of magma and the formation of a solid with an organized structure? Rock melting Solidification Crystallization Rock formation 15 / 20 Rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together Obsidian Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic 16 / 20 The weight of layers of sediments forces out fluids and decreases space between pieces of sediment Compaction Cementation Extrusive Intrusive 17 / 20 Sedimentary rocks are changed to sediments by ____. weathering and erosion heat and pressure compaction cementation 18 / 20 Igneous rock that forms when magma cools slowly inside the earth sedimentary sandstone intrusive extrusive 19 / 20 Which statement is correct regarding metamorphic rock formation? The temp. inside Earth is cooler which allows metamorphic rocks to form more quickly Weathering and erosion cause rocks to break down to form metamorphic rocks. Small pieces of rocks are buried, squeezed, and cemented together. The deeper into Earth’s crust, the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks 20 / 20 Rock that forms when molten rock cools Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary Limestone Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
