Mastering Geology RA-01 Study Guide Test.
In the example below, all of the items are examples of either observations or inference based on a situation where you walk into a dark room, flip the wall switch, and the light does not come on. Drag the appropriate items into their respective bins. Each item may be used only once. - CORRECT ANSWER Observation
- the light did not come on
- i reset the fuses and the lights still doesn't come on
Inference
- the electricity may be out
- the light bulb may be dead
- a fuse must have blown
What is the difference between magma and lava? - CORRECT ANSWER Magma is molten rock located below the surface; lava is molten rock erupted above ground.
What are the two most important driving forces of metamorphism? - CORRECT ANSWER high heat and pressure
_____ igneous rocks are those that cool below the surface. - CORRECT ANSWER intrusive
What are the two important processes involved in lithification of sedimentary rocks? - CORRECT ANSWER cementation and compaction
An igneous rock becomes buried, is subject to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes. This rock then is eroded, transported, deposited and subsequently lithified. Which rock types—in order—did the original igneous rock develop into? - CORRECT ANSWER metamorphic and sedimentary In the image below, label the arrows for the correct processes of the rock cycle.
Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Labels may be reused and not all labels are used. - CORRECT ANSWER magma > igneous rock - cooling, crystallization
igneous rock > sediment
- weathering, transport, deposition
sediment > sedimentary rock
- lithification
sedimentary rock > metamorphic rock - metamorphism
metamorphic rock > magma
- melting
igneous rock > magma
- melting
igneous rock > metamorphic rock
- metamorphism
In the list shown below, label each item for the location where it primarily occurs: 1) on Earth's surface, 2) Earth's shallow subsurface, or 3) Earth's deep subsurface (many miles/km below the surface).
Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Labels may be reused. - CORRECT ANSWER Earth's surface
- lava cooling and undergoing crystallization to form extrusive igneous rocks
- weathering, transport, deposition
Earth's shallow subsurface
- sediment undergoing lithification
Earth's deep subsurface
- (rock) melting
- high temperature, high pressure (high-grade) metamorphism
