Metamorphic rock
Sedimentary rock
Igneous rock
Crystals
Question 3
3.
How is coal, a type of fossil fuel, formed?
Melting and cooling of rocks
Lava cooling down and solidifying
Crushed minerals compacted together
Buried plant material is subjected to high temperatures and pressure
Question 4

Question 6
6.
What type of material primarily makes up fossil fuels?
Water and wind
Rock and sand
Decomposed plants and animals
Live plants and animals
Question 7
7.
How long does it generally take for a fossil fuel to form?
One year
Hundreds of years
Millions of years
Thousands of years
Question 8
8.
Why are fossil fuels considered non-renewable resources?
Plants and animals are always dying
They reform quickly
We have unlimited supplies
They take too long to form
Question 9
9.
How does the process of coal formation differ from that of petroleum?
Coal forms from marine organisms, petroleum from plants
They are formed by similar processes
Coal is formed underwater, petroleum on land
Coal forms from plants, petroleum from tiny marine organisms
Question 10
10.
Where does most of the petroleum formation happen?
Sea/ocean beds
Forests
Mountain areas
Deserts

Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Igneous
Question 12
12.

The top layer
All layers are the same age
The bottom layer
The middle layer
Question 13
13.
Which process turns loose sediments into rock?

Compaction and Cementation
Deposition
Erosion
Question 14
14.
How do sedimentary rocks usually form?
Crystals
Balls
Layers
Single mass
Question 15
15.
Which conditions are required for the formation of coal?

Animal decay in swamp water
Accumulation of sea shells in water
Formation in volcanic areas
Question 16
16.
How does natural gas form differently from coal?
Coal is created from lava and ash
Natural gas is formed from sand and silt deposition
Coal is formed from tree bark
Natural gas is formed from tiny sea plants and animals
