Which statement is TRUE about Obsidian rock? Obsidian is an extrusive rock and has no crystals. 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. 3 / 20 Sedimentary rocks made up of broken pieces of minerals and rocks Intrusive Biochemical Clastic Extrusive 4 / 20 Which statement is correct regarding metamorphic rock formation? The deeper into Earth’s crust, the higher the pressure that forms metamorphic rocks 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 5 / 20 Which sediment size is deposited first when wind, water, or glaciers slow down? the lightest sediment is deposited first sediments with all sizes deposit at the same time the heaviest sediment is deposited first the size of sediment doesn't affect its deposition 6 / 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 7 / 20 Rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together Igneous Obsidian Sedimentary Metamorphic 8 / 20 The following processes are necessary for rock formation EXCEPT __________. Boiling Compaction and cementation Evaporation and condensation Weathering, erosion, and deposition 9 / 20 What conditions are required for metamorphic rocks to form? Low temperature Rock cycle High temperature High pressure 10 / 20 How are sedimentary rocks formed? 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 the result of weathering and breaking the mountain into smaller pieces. Sedimentary rocks are formed as a result of chemical reactions between minerals. 11 / 20 Rock that forms when molten rock cools Limestone Sedimentary Igneous Metamorphic 12 / 20 The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce ____ mineral grains. large fine-grained invisible tiny 13 / 20 Igneous rock that forms when magma cools slowly inside the earth sandstone sedimentary intrusive extrusive 14 / 20 Where are the igneous rocks formed? in oceans in areas of volcanic activity in areas of earthquake activity in deserts 15 / 20 Sedimentary rocks formed by organisms or the remains of organisms mountain clastic chemical biochemical 16 / 20 The weight of layers of sediments forces out fluids and decreases space between pieces of sediment Cementation Extrusive Compaction Intrusive 17 / 20 What is the size of crystals found in extrusive igneous rocks? fine-sized or no crystals entirely made up of crystals different-sized crystals large-sized crystals 18 / 20 Which type of rocks are formed from lava? Metamorphic rocks Extrusive igneous rocks Intrusive igneous rocks Sedimentary rocks 19 / 20 ................. is the process that creates rock from sediments. Deposition Compaction Cementation Lithification 20 / 20 Sedimentary rocks are changed to sediments by ____. cementation weathering and erosion compaction heat and pressure Your score is 0% Restart quiz Go to the Quizzes Page
