Answers
1
What made the rocks break off?
dissolving of minerals
freezing and thawing
grass and small plants
activities of animals
2
Igneous rock will not contain fossils because-
sedimentary rock is constantly being eroded
igneous rock is changed by heat and pressure
fossils would melt
metamorphic rock have fossils
3
Which list below has the type of rock matched with its correct place in the rock cycle?
1 sedimentary, 2 metamorphic, 3 igneous
1 sedimentary, 2 igneous, 3 metamorphic
1 igneous, 2 sedimentary, 3 metamorphic
1 igneous, 2 metamorphic, 3 sedimentary
4
What causes the water to evaporate in the water cycle?
cold water sinks to the bottom of the body of water
water is heated and turned into gas
water collects from land runoff
less dense water is separated
5
Which process causes canyons and valleys to form?
Condensation
Evaporation
Erosion
Deposition
6
Where do earthquakes most likely happen?
Convergent boundary
Divergent boundary
Transform boundary
Continental boundary
7
Continental Drift explains that-
rocks have been transformed from one type to another
most life-forms that existed in the past are still present
most of Earth's surface was once covered by molten rock
the continents were once joined together
8
What would happen here?
Volcanoes and ocean floor spreading
Landslides and avalanches
Earthquakes and volcanoes
Ocean floor spreading and island formation

23
How is sedimentary rock formed?
sediments pressed together
cooling and hardening
extreme heat and melting
heat and pressure
24
What kind of rock is formed when rock is broken down and pressed together?
Metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock
Igneous rock
Magma
25
How are metamorphic rocks formed?
lava erupting from a volcano
magma cooling and hardening
heat and pressure
