1. What type of rock is formed due to the compacting and cementing of layers of debris?
Eroded rock
Igneous rock
Metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock
2.The diagram below represents the rock cycle.
The diagram shows 3 rectangular boxes labeled Igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock and 2 ovals labeled Magma and Sediment. There are 9 arrows. One arrow points from igneous rock to magma, one arrow points from igneous rock to metamorphic rock, one arrow points from igneous rock to sediment and is labeled A, one arrow points from magma to igneous rock, one arrow points from metamorphic rock to magma, one arrow points from metamorphic rock to sediment and is labeled A, one arrow points from sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock, one arrow points from sedimentary rock to sediment and is labeled A, and one rock points from sediment to sedimentary rock.
Which process is represented by the label A?
Cementation
Compaction
Heat and pressure
Weathering and erosion
3.Lisa wrote the following steps in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Step 1: Rocks pushed up onto Earth's surface due to movement of tectonic plates
Step 2: Rocks experience extreme heat and pressure
Step 3: Mineral composition of rocks changes
Step 4: Original rocks transform into new rocks
Which step is incorrect?
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
4.Which statement best explains the role of weathering and erosion in the rock cycle?
Rocks melt by this process.
Molten rocks solidify by this process.
They change the mineral composition of rocks.
They break rocks and transport them to new locations.
5.Which layer of Earth has partially melted material that moves the tectonic plates?
Crust
Inner core
Mantle
Outer core
6.Which of these best describes the material inside Earth's mantle?
Remains stationary
Moves in a circular motion
Rises up but does not sink down
Sinks down but does not rise up
7.he movement of tectonic plates in two locations is described below:
Location A: Tectonic plates push together
Location B: Tectonic plates pull apart
Which statement is most likely true?
Ocean basins may form in both locations.
Volcanic eruptions may occur in both locations.
Ocean basins may form in location A but not in location B.
Volcanic eruptions may occur in location B but not in location A.
8.The table below describes geological events.
Event Boundary where they occur
Convergent Divergent Transform
A Yes Yes No
B Yes Yes Yes
Which statement is most likely correct?
Event A represents earthquakes and Event B represents volcanic eruptions.
Event A represents volcanic eruption and Event B represents earthquakes.
Event A represents formation of ocean basins and Event B represents earthquakes.
Event A represents earthquakes and Event B represents formation of ocean basins.
