Answers
1
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments that are eroded & deposited in layers.This requires
time and pressure
temperature and time
collection and transportation
deposition and melting
2
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of sedimentary rocks?
made of layers
rough, grainy texture
can contain fossils
smooth texture
3
Where does the heat come from that is necessary to produce fossil fuels?
the Earth's core
the Sun
burning coal
power plants
4
Biofuel is an energy resource that causes less pollution than coal. Biofuels come from -
plants and animals
geothermal energy
rocks that have been changed by heat and pressure
hydroelectric energy
5
Which soil type drains water well, but does not retain enough water to support plant growth?
clay
topsoil
sand
loam
6
Where does the pressure come from that compacts sediment to form a sedimentary rock?
sediment melts into layers
the layers above pushing down
changing temperature
minerals from water
7
Which energy source is considered non-renewable?
natural gas
hydroelectric
biofuel
solar
8
Which layer is the oldest fossil layer?
B
C
D
A
9
Which of these processes are required for the formation of sedimentary rock?
deposition and compaction
boiling and pressure
weathering and melting
pressure and cooling
10
What is required to produce fossil fuels from
organic matter
(plants and animals)?
time, heat, pressure
time, heat, water
heat, pressure, steam
heat, temperature, pressure
11
Which of the following best completes the process shown in the chart?
layers
transporting
cementation
rock
12
Which must be present for a fossil fuel to form, but is not required for sedimentary rocks?
pressure from layers
millions of years time
decaying organic matter
sediment
13
What does it mean for an energy source to be "renewable"?
are clean and cost effective
can be converted directly into heat and electricity
can be replenished in a short period of time
do not produce air pollutants
14
Which is NOT a factor in the formation of fossil fuels?
time
heat
pressure
melting
15
Which of the following is NOT a renewable energy resource?
geothermal energy
solar energy
gasoline
biofuels
16
Weathering, erosion, and deposition are processes needed to form a -
sedimentary rock
fossil fuel
17
Coal, oil, and natural gas are all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels originated from -
buried, dead organisms changed by heat and pressure
decayed rocks from within Earth's crust
heat preserved within Earth's crust
plants that survived Earth's changes
18
All of these are examples of fossil fuels except -
natural gas
corn oil
petroleum
coal
19
Which of these is NOT a fossil fuel?
natural gas
petroleum
diesel fuel
biofuels
20

igneous rock
sedimentary rock
metamorphic rock
fossil fuel
