1.

Types of Rocks

Multiple Choice:

1. Which of the following is an example of an igneous rock? a) Limestone


b) Granite
c) Sandstone
d) Marble
2. What is the main difference between sedimentary and metamorphic rocks? a)
Sedimentary rocks are formed from cooled magma, while metamorphic rocks are
formed from cooling lava.
b) Sedimentary rocks are formed from layers of materials, while metamorphic rocks
are formed by heat and pressure.
c) Sedimentary rocks form under heat and pressure, while metamorphic rocks are
formed by wind and water.
d) Sedimentary rocks are always shiny, while metamorphic rocks are rough.

True/False:

3. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of lava or magma.
True / False
4. Metamorphic rocks are created by the process of weathering and erosion.
True / False

Short Answer:

5. Describe how sedimentary rocks are formed.


(Answer should include details about layers, compaction, and cementation of
sediments.)
Sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition of sediments in layers, followed by compaction and
cementation. Over time, pressure from the layers above causes the sediments to stick together and harden into rock.

2. The Rock Cycle

Multiple Choice:

6. Which process is responsible for turning igneous rocks into sedimentary


rocks? a) Melting
b) Compaction and cementation
c) Heat and pressure
d) Cooling and crystallization

True/False:

7. The rock cycle shows how rocks can change from one type to another over
time.
True / False
Short Answer:

8. Explain how a sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic rock.


(Answer should mention heat, pressure, and changes in the rock's structure.)
A sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic rock when it is subjected to intense heat and pressure. These
conditions cause physical and chemical changes in the rock's structure, transforming it into a new type of rock.

3. Soil Composition and Layers


A. Sand → 7. Large particles, drains water quickly, but does not hold
nutrients well
Matching: B. Clay → 8. Tiny particles, holds water and nutrients well, but can
become compacted easily
9. Match the soil type with its description:C. Loam → 5. Best for growing most plants due to its balanced
texture
1. A. Sand
D. Silt → 6. Smooth texture, feels slippery, and retains water well
2. B. Clay
3. C. Loam
4. D. Silt
5. Best for growing most plants due to its balanced texture
6. Smooth texture, feels slippery, and retains water well
7. Large particles, drains water quickly, but does not hold nutrients well
8. Tiny particles, holds water and nutrients well, but can become
compacted easily

Multiple Choice:

10. Which soil type is best for growing crops like vegetables? a) Sand
b) Clay
c) Loam
d) Silt

Short Answer:

11. What are the four main components of soil?


[Answer: Mineral particles, organic matter, water, and air]

4. Weathering and Erosion

Multiple Choice:

12. Which of the following causes weathering in rocks? a) Wind and water
b) Heat and pressure
c) Compaction and cementation
d) Freezing and thawing

True/False:

13. Erosion is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces.
True / False
Short Answer:

14. What is the difference between weathering and erosion?


[Answer: Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion is
the movement of those particles.]
