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