    EARTH SCIENCE-QUIZ- MODULE 4

    Multiple Choice
    Choose the best answer. Each question is worth 1 point.
    1. Rocks vary in color, size, texture and shape. They are classified based on how
    they were formed. Which of the following deals with the study of rocks?
    a. Biology
    b. Geology
    c. Paleontology
    d. Petrology
    2. Halite is made when a body of seawater becomes closed off and evaporates and
    salt precipitates out and is deposited as crystallized halite. What type of
    sedimentary rock is formed?
    a. Clastic
    b. Chemical
    c. Organic
    d. Pyroclastic
    3. Igneous rock is divided into two groups, extrusive and intrusive Extrusive igneous
    rocks form when magma makes its way to its surface as lava and the cools
    forming rocks. Which will be the characteristics of the crystals?
    a. Crystals are very large.
    b. Crystals are phaneritic.
    c. Crystals are fine grained.
    d. Crystals are coarse grained.
    4. Regional metamorphism occurs due to changes in pressure and temperature
    over a large region of the crust. It may happen when rock is buried deep below
    the surface or where pieces of the Earth’s crust collide. Which is a metamorphic
    rock?
    a. Breccia
    b. Conglomerate
    c. Marble
    d. Sandstone
    5. Igneous and metamorphic rock can be buried and undergo tremendous heating

    kind?
    a. Weathering
    b. Rock cycle
    c. Sediments

    grain and smaller size of crystals?
    a. Extrusive igneous rock
    b. Intrusive igneous rock
    c. Metamorphic rock
    d. Sedimentary rock
