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