Weathering, erosion, and deposition Compaction and cementation Evaporation and condensation Boiling 2 / 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 large crystals. Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has no crystals. Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has large crystals. Obsidian is an intrusive rock and has no crystals. 3 / 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. 4 / 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. 5 / 20 Igneous rock that forms when magma cools slowly inside the earth intrusive extrusive sedimentary sandstone 6 / 20 Rock that forms when molten rock cools Limestone Metamorphic Igneous Sedimentary 7 / 20 ................. is the process that creates rock from sediments. Lithification Deposition Compaction Cementation 8 / 20 Minerals dissolved in surrounding water crystalize between grains of sediment "gluing" them together Close to the sea Compaction Chemical Cementation 9 / 20 Sedimentary rocks formed by organisms or the remains of organisms mountain chemical biochemical clastic 10 / 20 The weight of layers of sediments forces out fluids and decreases space between pieces of sediment Cementation Compaction Intrusive Extrusive 11 / 20 What is the size of crystals found in extrusive igneous rocks? fine-sized or no crystals large-sized crystals entirely made up of crystals different-sized crystals 12 / 20 Sedimentary rocks made up of broken pieces of minerals and rocks Extrusive Intrusive Biochemical Clastic 13 / 20 The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce ____ mineral grains. invisible large fine-grained tiny 14 / 20 What conditions are required for metamorphic rocks to form? High temperature Low temperature High pressure Rock cycle 15 / 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 heaviest sediment is deposited first the size of sediment doesn't affect its deposition 16 / 20 Where are the igneous rocks formed? in deserts in areas of volcanic activity in areas of earthquake activity in oceans 17 / 20 What term is used to describe the cooling of magma and the formation of a solid with an organized structure? Crystallization Solidification Rock melting Rock formation 18 / 20 Rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together Sedimentary Obsidian Igneous Metamorphic 19 / 20 Which type of rocks are formed from lava? Extrusive igneous rocks Metamorphic rocks Intrusive igneous rocks Sedimentary rocks 20 / 20 Sedimentary rocks are changed to sediments by ____. compaction heat and pressure weathering and erosion cementation Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
