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