Question 1
1.
How are sedimentary rocks primarily formed?
From volcanic eruptions.
Layers of sediments compact over time.
From melted lava cooling down.
From ancient trees decaying.
Question 2
2.
Which of the following forms over millions of years underground?
Ocean waves creating energy.
Sunlight changing rocks.
Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Earthquakes creating magma.
Question 3
3.
A river deposits layers of minerals and other rocks at its mouth. Over time, what kind of rock is formed by the deposits?
Igneous
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Not here
Question 4
4.
A student made a list of the steps needed to form a sedimentary rock. What steps are next in the process?
Precipitation and evaporation
Compaction and cementation
Cooling and hardening
Heat and pressure
Question 5
5.
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels originated from —
buried, dead organisms changed by heat and pressure
heat preserved within Earth's crust
plants that survived Earth's changes
decayed rocks from within Earth's crust

Question 14
14.
What do the processes of the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels have in common?
Sedimentary rocks are the only type of rock where fossils are found that produce energy.
Sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels are both formed over a long period of time with high pressure.
Fossil fuels and sedimentary rocks are burned to release energy.
Sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels are mixed with fossils to provide energy.
Question 15
15.

Which of the following depicts the correct order of this process?
1, 2, 3, 4
3, 1, 2, 4
3, 2, 1, 4
2, 4, 1, 3
Question 16
16.
Which statement best explains how
coal
was formed?
Fossils of dinosaurs such as the Tyrannosaurus rex were buried and became coal after millions of years.
Rocks were broken into smaller pieces called sediment, which formed layers over time.
Heat and pressure transformed the remains of prehistoric plants into coal.
Pieces of coal were buried beneath many layers of sedimentary rock.
Question 17
17.
Which fossil fuel is formed from decomposed plant material?
Oil from freshwater fish.
Natural gas from rocks.
Limestone from ocean shells.
Coal from ancient swamp plants.
Question 18
18.

petroleum
formation?
Rainwater collecting in rocks.
Wind erosion on the land.
Decaying marine organisms under heat and pressure.
The remains of plants from a swamp.
Question 19
19.

Fossils form from organic material in sediment layers.
Fossils come from igneous rocks.
Fossils dissolve in heat.
Fossils are made from minerals only.
