- 14. Multiple ChoiceThis rock was found near the mouth of a volcano. What type of rock is this?SedimentaryIgneousMetamorphic
- 15. Multiple ChoiceWhen sediments are pressed together tightly, this is called ____________.CompactionCementationWeatheringErosion
- 16. Multiple ChoiceThe process when rocks break into smaller pieces due to exposure to natural elements is callederosionweatheringsediments
- 17. Multiple ChoiceThe movement of weathered material (sediment) is called?weatheringerosiondeposition
- 18. Multiple ChoiceSedimentary rock that is made of fragments of rocks cemented together by a mineral are called...chemicalorganicclastic
- 19. Multiple ChoiceSedimentary rock made from fossils are called...organicchemicalstratified
- 20. Multiple ChoiceFossils are only found inSedimentary rocksFoliated Metamorphic rocksIgneous RocksNonfoliated Metamorphic rocks
- 21. Multiple ChoiceHow do I know this is an organic sedimentary rock?it has large crystalsit has fossilsit has a glassy textureit has a grey color
- 22. Multiple ChoiceThe rock shown is quartzite. Quartzite issedimentarymetamorphicigneous
- 23. Multiple ChoiceIgneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface. It is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals. This mineral composition usually gives the rock a red, pink, gray, or white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock.PumiceFeldsparGranitequartz
- 24. Multiple ChoiceA dark-colored, fine-grained, igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals. It most commonly forms as an extrusive rock. Earth's Most Abundant Bedrockobsidianshalebasaltslate
- 25. Multiple ChoiceA light-colored, extremely porous igneous rock that forms during explosive volcanic eruptions. It is used as aggregate in lightweight concrete, as landscaping aggregate, and as an abrasive in a variety of industrial and consumer products.shalepumicesandstonegranite
- 26. Multiple ChoiceThese building stones are made of a rock called coquina. The rock is almost entirely made up of pieces of fossil sea shells.IgneousSedimentaryMetamorphic
- 27. Multiple ChoiceThis limestone is in Middle Tennessee, and contains a wide variety of fossils of ocean creatures.IgneousSedimentaryMetamorphic
- 28. Multiple ChoiceThis quartzite was once sandstone, but heat and pressure changed it by fusing the grains of sand to each other, making it much harder.IgneousSedimentaryMetamorphic
- 29. Multiple ChoiceThis marble was once limestone, but heat and pressure changed it, recrystallizing the calcite and distorting the layers.IgneousSedimentaryMetamorphic
