4
Sam found a rock. He decided what rock it was by using ceramic tile. What did that show him?
To compare the color of the rock to the color of the tile
To make the rock have a shiny luster
see the color of the streak that the rock would make
To break the rock to tell the cleavage pattern
5
How are igneous rocks formed?
sedimentary rock that has been heated under high pressure
the cooling of molten minerals and gas
layers of small bits of rocky material that settles in water
by the slow cooling of metamorphic rock
6
Which is true of all nonrenewable resources?
They need to be created by time heat and pressure
Cannot be replaced in a reasonable time once thy are used up
They are used for energy
They can only be used once and not reused or recycled
7
What are the difference between weathering and erosion?
Erosion =moving water; weathering =the separation of rocks
Erosion breaks down rocks; weathering moves sediment
Weathering breaks down rocks; erosion moves sediment
8

15
Why are repeated trials important in a scientific investigation?
They determine the outcome
They make experiments work.
They are a legal procedure.
They make sure results are valid
