30s5.7a - Q2
All of these are related to the formation of oil or natural gas EXCEPT —
decayed plants
active volcanoes
decomposed animals
sedimentary rocks
30s5.7a - Q3
The 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?
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 rock
Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock.
30s5.7a - Q4
Erosion is one of the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock. Which of these best describes the process of erosion?
Pressure compacts layers of sediment and turns them into rock.
Rocks are broken into smaller pieces that remain in the same location.
Pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another.
Sediment grains fall to the bottom of a lake to form sedimentary layers.
30s5.7a - Q5
Which list contains only processes that must occur in order for fossil fuels to form?
Formation of faults, burial, glacier formation
Organism growth, burial, compaction
Organism growth, burial, volcanic eruptions
Erosion, burial, earthquakes
30s5.7a - Q6
Glaciers are masses of ice that move slowly on land. Which of these features was most likely formed by a glacier?
A lava flow
A mountain range
A wide valley
A deep ocean
30s5.7b - Q7
The Rio Grande Valley is located at the southern tip of Texas at the end of a long river known as the Rio Grande. How did the delta at the end of the Rio Grande form?
Sand and mud from the Gulf of Mexico were washed ashore by tsunamis
The river deposited large amounts of sediment from land erosion
Hurricanes pushed soil and debris from the Gulf of Mexico onto the land.
The river cut through the solid bedrock of the valley.
30s5.7b - Q8
A student hiking in a rocky area on a mountain notices that wide, deep cracks have formed in some of the large rocks. Some of the cracks are so large that the rocks have broken apart. Which process most likely caused these rocks to crack and break?
Water freezing and thawing
Sediments being deposited
Erosion by wind
Erosion by fast-moving water
30s5.7b - Q9
The photograph below shows a canyon in northern Arizona. Which of these describes how this canyon was most likely formed?
Wind blew large rocks that smashed against the canyon walls
Glaciers eroded the canyon rock as they melted and moved.
Floods eroded the sandstone away from the canyon walls.
Ice wedged into cracks in the rock and weathered the canyon walls.
30s5.7b - Q10
Monahans Sandhills State Park in Texas has almost 4,000 acres of sand dunes. Some of the dunes are as tall as a six-story building. The dunes in the park are formed by —
tornadoes
strong winds
rainstorms
earthquakes
