A 4. The Nile river carries sediments to the ocean. Over time, the sediments are
compressed as more sediments are deposited on top of them. Which type of rock
will be formed?
A. Sedimentary B. Metamorphic C. Igneous
C 5. The volcano Kilauea on the big island of Hawai’i is erupting and lava is ejected
from the volcano vent. The lava solidifies to form what type of rock?
B. Sedimentary B. Metamorphic C. Igneous
B 6. Off the coast of the Pacific Northwest in the United States, the Pacific plate is
being pushed underneath the North American plate in a subduction zone, caused by
plate tectonics. As the rock from the Pacific plate is pushed under the North
American plate, it is subjected to high temperatures and pressures. Which rock will
be created from this process?
A. Sedimentary B. Metamorphic C. Igneous
PART 3
B 7. In the Arizona desert, a sudden rainstorm washes sand and sediment into the
Colorado river, which eventually deposits the sediments into the ocean. This process
is called:
A. Erosion & Transport B. Deposition C. Weathering
A 8. In the desert, wind picks up and carries fine particles of sand and dirt. As the
wind blows against the rocks, the particles rub against the rocks and wear them
down in a process called:
A. Weathering B. Transport C. Erosion
B 9. Which one of the following is NOT one of the three types of rock?
A. Sedimentary B. Lava C. Metamorphic D. Igneous
TRUE 10. True or False? Magma is lava that has been ejected from beneath the
Earth’s crust through a volcano.
True OR False
