Short Answer
40. Suppose you found an igneous rock that had almost even amounts of silica,
iron, and magnesium. How would
you classify this rock? Why?
41. How do detrital, chemical, and organic sedimentary rocks differ from one
another?
42. Your friend challenges you to tell what you know about a rock without
seeing it. You are given a one-word
hint: clastic. What can you tell your friend about the rock?
43. What makes the rock cycle a “cycle”?
44. What is cementation?
45. Use the information about igneous rocks A–D to classify each one as
intrusive or extrusive and basaltic or
granitic. Fill in the chart with A, B, C, or D.
Rock A—dark-colored large grains
Rock B—large crystals, high percentage of silica
Rock C—fine-grained texture, light-colored
Rock D—from Hawaiian volcano area, no visible crystals

46. In a concept map, would you list basaltic lava under high silica content
or low silica content?
47. In a concept map, would you list intrusive rocks under rocks that form
above the ground or below?
48. If you were shown one photograph of pumice and one of granite, how could
you distinguish between the two
rocks?
Directions: For each item, tell which event would occur first.
49. Molten material cools and forms igneous rocks. Lava flows from a volcano.
50. Gneiss is formed. The mineral grains in granite are flattened under
pressure.
51. Describe the differences among detrital, chemical, and organic rocks.
52. Where does the rock cycle begin?
Identify each statement as true or false. Rewrite false statements to make
them correct.
53. The composition of a sedimentary rock depends upon the composition of the
rocks and living things its
sediments came from.
54. All igneous rocks have the same mineral compositions.
55. Nonfoliated rocks have very narrow layering.
56. Sedimentary rock can be formed from changes in igneous rock, but igneous
rock cannot be formed from
changes in sedimentary rock.
57. Metamorphic rocks can form from other metamorphic rocks.
58. Metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks.

SHORT ANSWER
40. ANS:
The rock is andesic. It has a mineral composition between granitic and
basaltic rock. Granitic rocks have a lot
of silica but less iron and magnesium. Basaltic rocks have a lot of iron and
magnesium but less silica.
PTS: 1
41. ANS:
Detrital rocks form by compaction and cementation of rock fragments and bits
of minerals, plants, and
animals; chemical rocks form from minerals dissolved in solution and
deposited after evaporation;
biochemical rocks form from the remains of once-living things compacted and
cemented together.
PTS: 1
42. ANS:
The word “clastic” means that the rock has a broken texture. It could be a
detrital sedimentary rock or an
organic rock.
PTS: 1
43. ANS:
There is no beginning or end. Rocks are constantly changing from one form to
another.
PTS: 1
44. ANS:
Cementation occurs when water soaks through rock, picking up atoms and
molecules released from minerals
during weathering. This solution of water and dissolved materials moves
through open spaces between
sediments. Minerals are deposited between the pieces of sediments, holding
the particles together like glue,
making a detrital sedimentary rock.

PTS: 1
48. ANS:
Granite has visible crystals; pumice has no visible mineral grains and is
full of holes.
PTS: 1
49. ANS:
Lava flows from a volcano
PTS: 1
50. ANS:
The mineral grains in granite are flattened under pressure.
PTS: 1
51. ANS:
Detrital, chemical, and organic rocks are all sedimentary rocks, but they
form in different ways. Detrital rocks
are made from broken fragments of other rocks. These sediments are compacted
and cemented together.
Chemical sedimentary rocks form when minerals are precipitated from a
solution or are left behind when a
solution evaporates. Organic rocks form from the remains of once-living
things.
PTS: 1
52. ANS:
It has no beginning; rocks are constantly changing form from one type to
another.
PTS: 1
53. ANS:
True
PTS: 1
54. ANS:
False, igneous rocks are formed from three basic types of lava—basaltic,
andesic, and granitic
PTS: 1
55. ANS:
False, foliated rocks have tightly-pressed-together layers (or) nonfoliated
rocks have no layers
PTS: 1
56. ANS:
False, sedimentary rock can form from changes in igneous rock; igneous rock
can form from changes in
sedimentary rock
PTS: 1
57. ANS:
True
PTS: 1
58. ANS:
False, metamorphic rocks can form from igneous and sedimentary rocks
