12 Questions
Match the following definitions with the correct terms:
A pure substance consisting of one or more atoms from the same type = Element A chemical substance consisting of one molecule formed from atoms of different elements = Compound A chemical compound formed by the act of nature = Mineral A mixture of more than one mineral naturally occurring = Rock
Match the following descriptions with the correct term:
Formed by artificial chemical reactions = Compound An aggregate of one or more minerals = Rock Formed by the act of nature = Mineral Consists of only one mineral type = Monomineralic rocks
Match the following examples with the correct type of rock:
Limestone (calcite) = Sedimentary rocks Quartzite (quartz) = Metamorphic rocks Claystone (clay) = Sedimentary rocks Igneous rocks = Rock
Match the following transformations with the correct rock types:
Igneous rocks transform to metamorphic = Metamorphic rocks Sediments layers are compacted to form = Sedimentary rocks Metamorphic rocks produce magma and become igneous rock = Igneous rocks Buried underground and subjected to heat and pressure turn into = Metamorphic rocks
Match the following processes with the correct rock types:
Cooled volcanic material forms = Igneous rocks Erosion and weathering break down into sediments which then form = Sedimentary rocks Buried deep underground, pressure and heat turn into = Metamorphic rocks Exposed to right conditions, can transform into any of the other types = Rock
Match the following facts with the correct rock types:
Began when Earth was volcanic = Igneous rocks Compact sediments layers over time and pressure to form = Sedimentary rocks Pressure made them metamorphic = Metamorphic rocks Can turn into any other types over time and under specific conditions = Rock
Match the following terms with their definitions:
Element = Simplest form of matter that cannot be broken down into simpler substances Compound = Substance composed of two or more elements chemically bonded together Mineral = Naturally occurring inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure Rock = Solid material made up of minerals or other mineral-like substances
Match the following components found in magma with their descriptions:
Melt = Hot liquid base of magma Minerals = Crystallized components in magma Solid rocks = Rocks incorporated into the melt from the surroundings Dissolved gases = Volatile substances present in magma
Match the following characteristics with the type of igneous rock they describe:
Fine-grained or glassy texture = Extrusive igneous rock Coarse-grained texture = Intrusive igneous rock Quick cooling near the Earth's surface = Extrusive igneous rock Slow cooling over many years = Intrusive igneous rock
Match the processes involved in rock formation with their correct order:
Weathering, Transportation, Deposition, Lithification = Sedimentary rocks Weathering, Transportation, Deposition, Compaction and Cementation = Sedimentary rocks Compaction and Cementation, Crystallization, Solidification, Cooling = Igneous rocks Metamorphism, Melting, Crystallization, Cooling = Metamorphic rocks
Match the factors influencing melting with their descriptions:
Chemistry, Material, Pressure, Presence of gases in the rock = Factors influencing when melting occurs Heat, Pressure, Mineral-rich fluids, Combination of factors = Conditions for creating metamorphic rocks High heat and pressure = Conditions for creating different types of metamorphic rock Heat, Pressure, Chemical changes = Factors changing properties of rocks to form metamorphic rocks
Match the rock types with their characteristics:
Sedimentary rocks = Contain fossils of animals and plants; Scrapes easily; Crumbles easily Igneous rocks = Form by crystallizing melted material; Divided into intrusive or extrusive types based on solidification location; Made up of eight elements including oxygen and silicon Metamorphic rocks = Created when rocks are subjected to high heat, pressure, or mineral-rich fluids; Properties change physically giving rise to new forms of rock
