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