True
True or False: Basalt and pumice are igneous rocks that cool quickly above ground.
True
True or False: Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment that comes from the weathering and erosion of larger rocks.
True
True or False: Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from mud.
True
True or False: Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from the shells of tiny organisms in the ocean.
True
True or False: Metamorphic rocks are formed when rocks are changed by heat and pressure deep within Earth.
True
True or False: Slate is a metamorphic rock formed from shale.
True
True or False: The rock cycle describes how rocks are created, destroyed, and recycled on Earth.
True
True or False: Weathering and erosion break down rocks into sediment.
True
True or False: The stripes or swirls in metamorphic rocks are caused by the melting and flowing of different-colored parts of the rock under pressure.
True
True or False: Pumice is denser than basalt.
False (Pumice is light and airy, while basalt is denser.)
True or False: Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from shale.
False (Marble is formed from limestone.)
True or False: Igneous rocks can only form above ground.
False (Igneous rocks can form both above and below ground.)
True or False: Metamorphic rocks are usually softer than sedimentary rocks.
