Which statement is TRUE about Obsidian rock? Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has large crystals. Obsidian is an intrusive rock and has no crystals. Obsidian is an intrusive rock and has large crystals. Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has no crystals. 6 / 20 ................. is the process that creates rock from sediments. Lithification Compaction Cementation Deposition 7 / 20 What is the size of crystals found in extrusive igneous rocks? fine-sized or no crystals entirely made up of crystals large-sized crystals different-sized crystals 8 / 20 The following processes are necessary for rock formation EXCEPT __________. Evaporation and condensation Compaction and cementation Boiling Weathering, erosion, and deposition 9 / 20 Sedimentary rocks are changed to sediments by ____. weathering and erosion cementation heat and pressure compaction 10 / 20 How are sedimentary rocks formed? Sedimentary rocks are the result of weathering and breaking the mountain into smaller pieces. Sedimentary rocks are formed as a result of chemical reactions between minerals. Sedimentary rocks are the result of the crystallization of molten rocks. Sedimentary rocks are the result of the accumulation of sediment deposits as layers. 11 / 20 Sedimentary rocks formed by organisms or the remains of organisms mountain biochemical chemical clastic 12 / 20 What conditions are required for metamorphic rocks to form? Low temperature Rock cycle High pressure High temperature 13 / 20 Igneous rock that forms when magma cools slowly inside the earth sedimentary intrusive sandstone extrusive 14 / 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. The deeper into Earth’s crust, the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks Small pieces of rocks are buried, squeezed, and cemented together. 15 / 20 The weight of layers of sediments forces out fluids and decreases space between pieces of sediment Extrusive Compaction Intrusive Cementation 16 / 20 Sedimentary rocks made up of broken pieces of minerals and rocks Intrusive Biochemical Extrusive Clastic 17 / 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 18 / 20 Which type of rocks are formed from lava? Intrusive igneous rocks Sedimentary rocks Extrusive igneous rocks Metamorphic rocks 19 / 20 Rock that forms when molten rock cools Limestone Sedimentary Metamorphic Igneous 20 / 20 Rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together Sedimentary Metamorphic Obsidian Igneous Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
