Rock cycle High pressure High temperature Low temperature 2 / 20 Rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together Igneous Metamorphic Obsidian Sedimentary 3 / 20 Sedimentary rocks are changed to sediments by ____. heat and pressure cementation weathering and erosion compaction 4 / 20 What is the size of crystals found in extrusive igneous rocks? different-sized crystals large-sized crystals fine-sized or no crystals entirely made up of crystals 5 / 20 The weight of layers of sediments forces out fluids and decreases space between pieces of sediment Extrusive Intrusive Cementation Compaction 6 / 20 Rock that forms when molten rock cools Igneous Limestone Sedimentary Metamorphic 7 / 20 Minerals dissolved in surrounding water crystalize between grains of sediment "gluing" them together Close to the sea Cementation Compaction Chemical 8 / 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 9 / 20 Sedimentary rocks made up of broken pieces of minerals and rocks Extrusive Clastic Biochemical Intrusive 10 / 20 Which type of rocks are formed from lava? Intrusive igneous rocks Metamorphic rocks Sedimentary rocks Extrusive igneous rocks 11 / 20 Which statement is correct regarding metamorphic rock formation? The deeper into Earth’s crust, the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks The temp. inside Earth is cooler which allows metamorphic rocks to form more quickly Small pieces of rocks are buried, squeezed, and cemented together. Weathering and erosion cause rocks to break down to form metamorphic rocks. 12 / 20 Where are the igneous rocks formed? in oceans in deserts in areas of volcanic activity in areas of earthquake activity 13 / 20 What term is used to describe the cooling of magma and the formation of a solid with an organized structure? Crystallization Rock melting Rock formation Solidification 14 / 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 intrusive rock and has no crystals. Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has large crystals. 15 / 20 The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce ____ mineral grains. large tiny fine-grained invisible 16 / 20 How are sedimentary rocks formed? Sedimentary rocks are the result of the crystallization of molten rocks. 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 formed as a result of chemical reactions between minerals. 17 / 20 Igneous rock that forms when magma cools slowly inside the earth sedimentary sandstone intrusive extrusive 18 / 20 The following processes are necessary for rock formation EXCEPT __________. Evaporation and condensation Weathering, erosion, and deposition Compaction and cementation Boiling 19 / 20 ................. is the process that creates rock from sediments. Lithification Cementation Compaction Deposition 20 / 20 Sedimentary rocks formed by organisms or the remains of organisms chemical mountain clastic biochemical Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
