Science Unit 4 Test

Question 1

Why are extrusive rocks found at the bottom of a volcano?

Answer 1

They are formed at the base of a volcano and cool quickly there

Question 2

Why do intrusive rocks have bigger rocks than extrusive?

Answer 2

They have larger crystals because they cool slower underground

Question 3

Why is the rock cycle the rock cycle?

Answer 3

Under the correct conditions with enough time can be changed into any other type of rock

Question 4

What are the steps for a Metamorphic rock to change into a Sedimentary?

Answer 4

The metamorphic rock has to exit earth then weathering,erosion,deposition, and compaction have to happen to form sedimentary rocks

Question 5

Can foliated metamorphic rocks become a intrusive igneous rock?

Answer 5

Yes, because it is melted and then cooled slowly causing it to crystalize

Question 6

What rocks process what be affected if the sun quit heating the Earth?

Answer 6

Sedimentary,because the sun helps rocks break down and there would be no weathering

Question 7

Why is it hard to observe the Grand Canyon eroding?

Answer 7

It’s hard to observe the erosion of the Grand Canyon because the process takes much longer than a human lifetime making it hard to see

Question 8

Why does non-foliated metamorphic rock like marble often get chosen to be used for sculptures??

Answer 8

It is because non-foliated metamorphic rocks don’t have stripes

Question 9

What are the steps to turn a intrusive igneous rocks into metamorphic rocks?

Answer 9

heat and pressure

Question 10

the process by which rocks change from solid to liquid form

Answer 10

melting

Question 11

the process by which a rock I liquid form changes to solid, highly organized form

Answer 11

crystalization

Question 12

a type of igneous rock that forms when rocks cool slowly inside the Earth

Answer 12

intrusive rock

Question 13

a type of igneous rock that forms when rocks cool off quickly on top of the surface of Earth

Answer 13

extrusive rocks

Question 14

the process in which smaller pieces of rocks break off from larger ones from rain, wind, etc.

Answer 14

weathering

Question 15

the process by which weathered rocks are moved away by water, wind, etc.

Answer 15

erosion

Question 16

the process by which eroded rocks no longer move and remain in 1 place

Answer 16

deposition

Question 17

the process by which deposited rocks are compressed to form new, larger rocks

Answer 17

Compaction
