Which rock was used to construct the pyramids at Giza? a. granite RCKs2 b. marble c. slate d. limestone 2. What is the grain of igneous rock formed when magma cools quickly? RCKs2 a. fine-grained b. large-grained c. medium-grained d. coarse-grained 3. How does clastic sedimentary rock begin? RCKs3 a. as magma b. as plant remains c. as fragments of rock d. as animal remains 4. What do bends or folds in rocks show? RCKs4 a. They have been weathered. b. They have been deformed. c. They have cooled slowly. d. They have cooled rapidly. Holt Science and Technology 62 Rocks: Mineral Mixtures

2 MULTIPLE CHOICE Circle the letter of the best answer for each question. 5. Besides being classified by their composition, how else are rocks classified? RCKs1 a. by their texture b. by their mass c. by their color d. by their volume 6. What occurs when temperature and pressure inside the Earth s crust change? RCKs4 a. stratification b. deformation c. deposition d. metamorphism 7. What is one way that magma forms? RCKs2 a. when rock is heated b. when rock is cooled c. when rock is cemented d. when rock is weathered 8. What are the layers of sedimentary rock called? RCKs3 a. sediment b. strata c. clasts d. folds 9. What is it called when sediment is dropped and comes to rest? RCKs1 a. erosion b. deposition c. weathering d. compaction Holt Science and Technology 63 Rocks: Mineral Mixtures

3 MATCHING Read the description. Then, draw a line from the dot next to each description to the matching word. 10. the process by which new rock forms from old rocks RCKs1 11. igneous rock that cools on the Earth s surface RCKs2 12. rocks made from animal or plant remains RCKs3 13. metamorphic rocks in which mineral grains are arranged in bands RCKs4 a. organic sedimentary rock b. extrusive igneous rock c. foliated rock d. rock cycle Holt Science and Technology 64 Rocks: Mineral Mixtures

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best completes the sentence. stratification index minerals intrusive igneous rock uplift erosion 14. Weathering, erosion, deposition, and are the processes that shape the Earth s surface. RCKs1 15. The process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers is called. RCKs3 16. Minerals used to estimate temperature and pressure at which rock changes are called. RCKs4 17. On the Earth s surface, weathering and make rock fragments. RCKs2 18. Rock formed from magma that cools below the earth s surface is. RCKs2 Holt Science and Technology 65 Rocks: Mineral Mixtures

5 TEACHER RESOURCE PAGE 25. E Chapter Test B 1. stratification 2. nonfoliated rock 3. erosion 4. composition 5. rock cycle 6. A 7. C 8. D 9. D 10. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Clastic sedimentary rock is formed from rock fragments that are cemented together by calcite or quartz. Chemical sedimentary rock is made of dissolved minerals that eventually crystallize. 11. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Contact metamorphism occurs when magma comes into direct contact with rock. Regional metamorphism occurs when large pieces of the Earth s crust collide with each other. 12. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Under a microscope a nonfoliated rock will not have mineral grains that are aligned. 13. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Limestone is formed from the remains, or fossils, of animals that once lived in the ocean. 14. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Rocks recrystallize when the crystals of the minerals change in composition. 15. Rocks like granite and marble are good building materials because they can withstand weathering for long periods of time. 16. Answers will vary. Sample answer: An extrusive rock formation reveals that there is a lot of activity, perhaps volcanic, going on below the Earth s surface. 17. All three rock types weather when they are uplifted to the earth s surface, forming sediments that cover the Earth s surface 18. a. igneous rock b. composition c. texture d. dikes e. erode f. conglomerate g. sedimentary rock Chapter Test C 1.
