The presence of an animal fossil in a rock gives evidence of: a. what hunting behavior the animal used b. how many babies the animal had c. exactly when the animal was born d. the time period the animal lived in 2 1 3 4 This diagram shows the four layers of the Earth. Each layer is labeled by a number with an arrow pointing to that label. Use this diagram and labels to answer the next 3 questions: 8. Which of the following is correct? a. 1 = inner core, 2 = outer core, 3 = mantle, 4 = crust b. 1= mantle, 2 = outer core, 3 = crust, 4 = inner core c. 1 =crust, 2 = mantle, 3 = outer core, 4 = inner core d. 1= outer core, 2 = mantle, 3 = crust, 4=inner core 9. Which layer is made of molten rock? a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4 10. Which layer is made up of tectonic plates? a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4 11. Cracks in the Earth’s crust are called faults. When the crust on both sides of the fault are moving, the result is: a. a volcano b. a tornado c. a geyser d. an earthquake 12. All of the following shape the Earth’s surface EXCEPT: a. weathering b. seismographs c. erosion d. tectonic plate movement 13. The rock in the picture above has large crystals. It is an example of what type of rock? a. igneous b. oceanic c. metamorphic d. sedimentary 14. The rock in the picture above is an example of what type of rock? a. igneous b. oceanic c. metamorphic d. sedimentary 15. Small pieces of rock exposed to weather wear away and collect in layers. Sometimes these layers joined back together to make _____ rock. a. igneous b. oceanic c. metamorphic d. sedimentary 16. Scientists think _________________, cause the plates to move across the Earth’s surface. a. high temperatures in the Earth’s core. b. currents in the Earth’s large bodies of water c. currents, or slow plastic movements in the mantle d. the temperature of the crust 17. If you wanted to live where there were few earthquakes and volcanoes, you should live a. far from plate boundaries b. near a plate boundary c. close to the ocean d. on an island B C A C B B A A A C B A A B B A A C B C A A The table above represents four layers of rock found in a certain location. The letters represent fossils found of certain animals. 18. Based on the fossil evidence, which animal has been in this location for the longest period of time? a. animal A b. animal B c. animal C 19. Based on the fossil evidence, which animal has been in this location for the shortest period of time? a. animal A b. animal B c. animal C Use the rock cycle diagram to help you answer the next three questions in complete sentences. 20. Name one possible cause of erosion and transport (1 point): _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Rain is one possible cause of erosion and transport. 21. Why is erosion necessary for sedimentary rocks to form? (Answer in 1-2 sentences, 2 points) _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Erosion is necessary for sedimentary rocks to form because soil, sand, and rock pieces are moved on top of each other into layers. Pressure turns these layers into sedimentary rock. 22. The diagram states that “deformation” takes place underground to change sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock. What causes this deformation? (2 points) _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ The deformation is caused by heat and pressure. Read each statement and decide if it is true or false. If it is true, circle the “T”. If it is false, circle the “F”. (2 points each) 23. Planting trees is a good way to help prevent erosion. T F 24. When tectonic plates slide past each other, this is called a convergent boundary. T F 25. Volcanoes can only occur at divergent boundaries, and earthquakes can only occur at convergent boundaries. T F 26. Human activity does not affect the rock cycle. T F 27. The Himalayan Mountain Range is a result of a convergent plate boundary. T F Read each statement. If it is an example of weathering, write “W” in the space. If it is an example of erosion, write “E” in the space. (2 points each) 28. Water rushes along a river, chipping off pieces of rock. _____ (W) 29. Wind blows pieces of rock against larger rocks, which breaks the larger rocks down into smaller pieces. _____ (W) 30. Water carries pieces of rock and soil down a hill. _____ (E) 31. Water freezes in a crack of a rock, expanding the crack until a rock breaks. _____ (W) 32. Wind blows sand across a desert. _____ (E) Read each question carefully and write your answers in the spaces provide. You do not need to use complete sentence, but be sure to provide enough detail and to answer all parts of the question. (12 points each) 33. By filling out the table, state the three main types of rocks. Explain how each of the types of rocks are formed and give one physical characteristic of each type of rock. Type of Rock How it is formed Lava is cooled above the surface or magma is cooled below the surface Physical Characteristics Contains crystals igneous A sedimentary or igneous rock is Often contains wavy layers exposed to heat and pressure and changes into a new rock metamorphic Layers of sand, rock particles, and soil are deposited in layers and are pressed together to form a new rock Contains layers, often contains fossils (either answer would earn the point) sedimentary Rubric: ___ Includes the three main types of rock (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic)- 3 points ___ An explanation for how each of the types of rocks are formed- 6 points (2 points for each explanation) ___ One physical characteristic of each type of rock- 3 points 34. By filling out the table, state the three main types of tectonic plate boundaries. Explain the motion of tectonic plates in each type of boundary and give one possible result of movement at each type of boundary. Type of plate boundary Plate motion Possible result Mountain range Plates collide into each other convergent divergent Plate pull apart volcano Plates move alongside each other in opposite directions earthquake transform Rubric: ___ Includes the three main types of plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, and sliding*)- 3 points ___ The motion of plates at each boundary- 6 points (2 points for each explanation) ___ One possible result of each boundary- 3 points *Sliding can also be called transform or strike-slip
