QUIZ 1.5 – ROCKS and GEOLOGIC PROCESSES ON EARTH

I.) IDENTIFICATION
Identify the following statement. Write your answer on the space provided.

__________________1.) This are natural substances consisting of aggregate minerals clumped

together with other Earth materials through processes.

__________________2.)These rocks are crystallized from magma or molten or partially molten

volcanic materials that came from within Earth.

__________________3.) These are rocks that have formed from the deposition of different materials
on Earth’s surface that come from preexisting rocks or pieces of dead organisms that have been
“lithified” or cemented together by natural processes.

__________________4.) These are rocks from igneous or sedimentary rocks that were exposed to high
pressure, high temperature, or combination of both, deep below the surface of Earth.

__________________5.) The diagram that shows the continuous succession of how rocks form, break
down, and reform as a result of the processes that induce the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and
metamorphic rocks.

__________________6.) The processes that occur on or near the surface of Earth and usually
influenced or driven by gravity, water, wind, and organisms.

__________________7.) These processes on Earth take place within or in the interior of Earth.

__________________8.) Where does the thermal energy in the Earth’s core mostly originate?

__________________9.) It is the force (from the pushing and pulling of plates) that acts on the rocks
thereby creating different behavior or characteristics.

__________________10.) It is the breakdown of rocks by mechanical forces concentrated along rock

fractures that can occur due to changes, whether sudden or not, in temperature, pressure, and others.

__________________11.) The process by which rocks break down by chemical reactions.

__________________12.) This happens when a large amount of sediments, usually rocks of various
sizes, falls down the slope.

__________________13.) The process by which Earth’s surface is worn away by wind, water, or ice.

__________________14.) This happens when combined soil and water flow down a slope.

__________________15.) It is a slow movement of soil along a curved surface.

__________________16.) The accumulation of materials such as soil, rock fragments, and soil
particles settling on the ground.

__________________17.) The process of changing the materials that make up a rock.

__________________18.) This happens when magma is generated and develops into igneous
(magmatic) rocks.

__________________19.) It is the process that usually happens after magma is formed wherein magma
tries to escape from the source through openings such as volcanoes or existing cracks on the ground.

__________________20.) The integration of rocks, soil, and minerals together with other materials
through contact with Earth’s subsystems that happens even without movement or transportation.

II.) DRAWING
Illustrate the four different types of stress that influence rock behavior. (3 points each)

Compressional Stress Tensional Stress

Shear Stress Confining Stress
