- Q1The diagram below shows the sequence of the processes that turn solid rock into sandstone. Which two processes best complete this diagram?Compaction and cementationMelting and coolingErosion and compactionEvaporation and dissolving60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q2All of these are related to the formation of oil or natural gas EXCEPT —active volcanoessedimentary rocksdecomposed animalsdecayed plants60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q3The model below shows layers of sediment on the floor of an ocean. Which of the following best explains how these layers can become rock over many years?Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock.Pollution caused by humans turns the sediment into rock.The weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock.Changing water temperatures turn sand in the sediment into rock60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q4Fossil fuels formed over long periods of time after particles in water settled to the sea floor and formed marine mud. What kinds of particles needed to be present in the marine mud in order for fossil fuels to form?Mostly decaying organismsMostly sand and a few small bits of woodMostly lava and a few sedimentary rocksMostly metal minerals60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q5Some students make a model to show one of the first steps in the formation of sedimentary rock. The students pour 2 centimeters of light-colored sand into a clear plastic box. Then they add 1 centimeter of gravel. Finally they pour 2 centimeters of dark-colored sand on top of the gravel. Which characteristic of sedimentary rock does this model best show?Sedimentary rock is made of layers.Sedimentary rock is cemented bits of rock.Sedimentary rock is often limestone.Sedimentary rock is common in Texas.60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q6Erosion is one of the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock. Which of these best describes the process of erosion?Rocks are broken into smaller pieces that remain in the same location.Pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another.Pressure compacts layers of sediment and turns them into rock.Sediment grains fall to the bottom of a lake to form sedimentary layers.60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q7This photograph shows plants growing on the surface of a pond. How do plants like these form fossil fuels?The dead plants get buried for millions of years and form fossils that attract carbon.The dead plants produce carbon that is consumed by fish, which form fossils.The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and are consumed by decomposers.The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and get buried by sediment for millions of years.60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q8Which list contains only processes that must occur in order for fossil fuels to form?Erosion, burial, earthquakesOrganism growth, burial, compactionOrganism growth, burial, volcanic eruptionsFormation of faults, burial, glacier formation60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
- Q9Which diagram models the process of compaction leading to the formation of sedimentary rock?#texas/2ccc57eb-3a55-4372-9cde-fb829da32ae8/C.png#texas/2ccc57eb-3a55-4372-9cde-fb829da32ae8/B.png#texas/2ccc57eb-3a55-4372-9cde-fb829da32ae8/A.png#texas/2ccc57eb-3a55-4372-9cde-fb829da32ae8/D.png60s5.7.A: Earth and Space
