- 1. Multiple Choice
The diagram shows the role of water in the weathering of rocks. What type of weathering is shown?
biological
chemical
ecological
mechanical
- 2. Multiple Choice
The image shows the model of a landscape. How will agents of weathering such as wind and water most likely affects this landscape?
Wind and water will cause the continuous contraction and expansion of rocks, leading to erosion.
Wind and water will erode the exposed surfaces, breaking down rocks into sediments gradually.
Wind and water will erode the crust down to the mantle, exposing molten magma that will alter the landscape.
Wind and water will change the chemical composition of the landscape, making it prone to erosion.
- 3. Multiple Choice
The figure shows how erosion occurs in a mountainous river system. What processes are shown at sites 1 and 2?
- 4. Multiple Choice
A student constructs a model using a fan and a pile of sand shaped like a dune. The student turns on the fan, observes the model for changes, and list several conclusions in a chart. What conclusions are correct?
Select all that apply.
1
2
3
4
- 5. Multiple Choice
A teacher makes a model of hill using clay, gravel, garden soil, and rocks. She pours water over the model to show the effect of water on hills, while students record observations on a table.
What observations are correct?
1 and 2
2 and 4
1, 3, and 4
2, 3, and 4
- 6. Multiple Choice
A student reads that soil is formed in part due to weathering of rocks. The student list methods in which rocks break down in a chart, as shown. Which are accurate methods of the weathering of rocks?
1 and 2 only
3 and 4 only
1, 2, and 4 only
1, 2, 3, and 4
- 7. Multiple Choice
Which process indicates how a mountain range slowly wears down over time?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering
mechanical weathering and mountain top removal
continental drift
climate change
- 8. Multiple Choice
Which statement is true about the rock cycle?
Once a metamorphic rock is formed, it will always be a metamorphic rock.
Heat and pressure that are applied to an igneous rock eventually creates a metamorphic rock.
Sedimentation is the primary process that converts a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock
When magma pours out on the Earth's surface, it forms metamorphic rock.
- 9. Multiple Choice
What kind of rocks can transform into metamorphic rocks due to heat and pressure?
sedimentary rocks only
intrusive igneous rocks only
intrusive igneous rocks and extrusive igneous rocks only
intrusive igneous rocks, extrusive igneous rocks, and sedimentary rocks
- 10. Multiple Choice
What type of rock forms when magma pours out of a volcano onto Earth's surface?
extrusive igneous rock
extrusive metamorphic rock
intrusive igneous rock
intrusive metamorphic rock
- 11. Multiple Choice
What two processes cause sedimentary rocks to change into metamorphic rocks?
weathering and erosion
cementation and compaction
heat and pressure
melting and cooling
- 12. Multiple Choice
What process describe how an intrusive igneous rock can formed?
chemical depositing of minerals in water
slow cooling of minerals deep under the surface
fast cooling of minerals on the surface
altering minerals by heat and pressure
- 13. Multiple Choice
How are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks different?
Intrusive rocks cool rapidly on the Earth's surface, while extrusive rocks cool slowly below the Earth's surface.
Intrusive rocks cool slowly below the Earth's surface, while extrusive rocks cool rapidly on the Earth's surface.
Intrusive rocks form from magma, while extrusive rocks form from compacted sediments.
Intrusive rocks form from compacted sediments, while extrusive rocks form from magma.
- 14. Multiple Choice
When a rock is broken into smaller pieces and then compacted, what type of rock is formed?
extrusive igneous rock
intrusive igneous rock
metamorphic rock
sedimentary rock
- 15. Multiple Choice
Granite is an igneous rock that changes into gneiss under heat and pressure. What kind of rock is gneiss?
extrusive igneous rock
intrusive igneous rock
metamorphic rock
sedimentary rock
- 16. Multiple Choice
The diagram shows a rock cycle. The rock types formed are labeled as rock type 1, 2, 3, and 4. The image identifies the rock types based on the method in which they are formed.
Which table shows the correct titles that should be placed in the rock cycle diagram for each rock type?
- 17. Multiple Choice
On a piece of cardboard, a teacher makes three rocks out of clay and labels and place arrows in between each, as shown in the diagram.
Four students label each arrow in order to identify the process that created each rock. Which model is correctly labeled?
- 18. Multiple Choice
The diagram shows a rock cycle diagram made by a group of students. based on the rock cycle model, which statement is true?
All rocks originate only from igneous rocks.
Temperature, pressure, and weathering drive the rock cycle.
The rock cycle stops after the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Change in temperature alone is responsible for the creation of metamorphic rocks.
- 19. Multiple Choice
There are three categories for all types of rocks on Earth (W, X, and Y). Each type of rock can be transformed into a different type, as shown in the diagram of the rock cycle.
What types of rock are indicated by the letters W, X, and Y?
W: igneous; X: metamorphic; Y: sedimentary
W: metamorphic; X: sedimentary; Y: igneous
W: sedimentary; X: igneous; Y: metamorphic
W: sedimentary; X: metamorphic; Y: igneous
- 20. Multiple Choice
