Rocks are classified into ________________.

geography rocks and rock types lithosphere and asthenosphere rocks and rock cycle introduction to rocks, volcanoes and earthquakes

  1. Volcanic, sedimentary and organic

  2. Volcanic, igneous and sedimentary

  3. Metamorphic; sedimentary and aqueous

  4. Igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary and organic

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Rocks are basically classified as igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
  • Organic rocks are a type of sedimentary rock which contain high amounts of organic carbon.
  • Hence option D is correct.

Igneous rocks are rocks formed by the solidification of volcanic eruptions and magma.

geography rocks and rock types lithosphere and asthenosphere rocks and rock cycle introduction to rocks, volcanoes and earthquakes

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Igneous rocks are rocks formed by the solidification (due to the cooling) of volcanic eruptions (lava) and magma.

Contact metamorphism generally occurs near_____.

geography rocks and rock types lithosphere and asthenosphere rocks and rock cycle introduction to rocks, volcanoes and earthquakes

  1. igneous intrusions

  2. sediment extrusions

  3. igneous extrusions

  4. sediment intrusions

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Contact metamorphism is a type of metamorphism where the texture of rock minerals are changed by means of heat, due to contact with magma, which is generally an igneous intrusion, i.e; the formed magma is trapped beneath the Earth's surface.
