Rocks and Layers Test

In the graphic to above, which type of rock is most likely being formed?

Chemical sedimentary rock

Which layers make up the Earth's lithosphere?

Crustand rigid upper mantle.

The rock cycle changes sedimentary metamorphoic, and igneous rocks into different forms. Which process forms igneous rock?

Cooling of magma

The students in Mrs.Jones class used a peach as their model to illistrate the structural layers of the earth. The pit of the peach represents which layer of the earth?

Core

Which list of term best describes sedimentary rocks?

Fossils, cementation, compaction

What process is used to change igneous rocks to metamorphic rocks?

Heat and pressure

Which of the following statements are true?

Igneous rocks form when sedimentary rock melts then cools and hardens

Granite is an igneous rock with relatively large crystals. Which of the following best describes granite?

It is an intrusive igneous rock.

Which of the following statements best describes an extrusive igneous rock?

It only forms above Earth's surface.

Arrow Z represents which process

Melting

Durning the rock cycle, some rocks are pushed deeper into the Earth. They are formed from existing rocks that have been squeezed and experience greater pressure, what type of rock will they turn into if they do not melt

Metamorphic

What is the boundary between crust and mantle called?

Moho

The hottest layer of the earth is-

The inner core

How does Earth's inner core differ from the outer core?

The inner core is solid the outer core is liquid.

The graph below shows how massive Earth's layers are in relation to one other. What is one conclusion you can make based on the information in the graph?

The mantle is twice as massive as the core.

Which layer of the earth is made up of liquid iron?

The outer core

John created a table to show what he has learned after studing the layers of the earth. what information is missing in John's graphic organizer?

Under the soil and water on Earth It protects the earth from inner heat and provides a hard surface on which to live.

Which position on the diagram best represents magma?

W

Which of the following processes form sedimentary rock?

Weathering, Erosion, Compaction, Cementation

Limstone is an example of sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock is formed when-

When melted rocks are trapped in small pockets.

Which process is represented by arrow X?

Which process is represented by arrow X?

Which position on the diagram best represents compacting and cementing?

Y
