Short Answer #1

How many different types of sedimentary rocks are there?

What are there names?

a) 3

d) 1b) 5

c) 4

Clastic, organic and chemical are the three types of sedimentary rock. Return to dice

Short Answer #2

Intrusive igneous rocks form from molten rock that cools under the Earth, and they cool slowly in the hot Earth so larger crystals form.

Extrusive igneous rocks form from molten rock that cools above the Earth’s surface, and they cool quickly on the cooler surface so they have small or no crystals.

What are the two main types of igneous rock and what is the difference between them?

Short Answer #3

What causes some intrusive igneous rocks to reach the surface of Earth?

Erosion because the above rock would ware away and be

removed due to erosion thus exposing the lower rocks.

Short Answer #4

What is the most common type of rock on Earth?

Sedimentary rocks account for over ¾ of Earth’s surface.

Igneous and metamorphic rocks account for 95% of the rocks in the

first 10 miles of Earth’s crust

Short Answer #5

Form from minerals dissolved in water and when if the water dries up, they are left there

Some form from dissolved minerals that precipitate, or settle out of water as a result of change in temperature

Forms when water evaporates and leaves behind minerals dissolved in water.

Return to dice

A) of water that is above

B) of overlying rocks

C) of the heat in the rocks

D) of the underlying rocks

Multiple choice #3

Rocks formed along fault zones are called...

A) lineations

B) igneous

C) extrusive

D) mylontites

Return to dice

a) Sandstone

b) Breccia d) Coquina

c) Migmatite

Multiple choice #5

Sedimentary rocks formed from material that was once living is called…

Reefs are this type of rock and they form from shells being cemented together

Return to dice

a) Organic rocks

b) Foliated rocks d) Intrusive rocks

c) Clastic rocks

True or FalseTrue or False

Question #1Question #2Question #3Question #4Question #5

Return to dice

True or false #1

Some metamorphic rocks can be made up of only one mineral.

Return to dice

True or false #2

Different layers (foliation) in a metamorphic rock can only be strait across and not curved.

Return to dice

True or false #3

Since the volume affected of some types of metamorphic rocks is small, the pressure is near constant on the rock, creating equal sized grains.

Return to dice

True or false #4

Igneous rocks can only have ONE crystal size.

Return to dice

Because it could erupt before it is fully cooled thus having it be part intrusive and part extrusive.

True or false #5

Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from particles that had previously been part of a rock. The sediments that compose them can be different sizes.
