Unit 4 - Summative Test

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about minerals and rocks: 1) Minerals are inorganic and have crystallinity. 2) The physical property of a mineral that refers to how it reflects light is its luster. 3) The physical property that refers to a mineral's tendency to break along flat surfaces is its cleavage. 4) Color is not a good diagnostic property because the same mineral can occur in different colors. 5) Igneous rocks form through the solidification of magma. 6) Volcanic rocks form when magma erupts and solidifies at the Earth's surface into very fine grains. 7) Igneous rocks are distinguished from

4. Which statement best explains why color is not a good diagnostic property?
A. Same mineral may occur in different colors.
B. Mineral color is affected by its chemical structure.
C. Some mineral samples may start to weather.
D. Not all minerals are large enough to be seen.
5. What process is involved in the formation of igneous rocks?
A. Solidification of magma
B. Melting of crystals
C. Deformation of minerals
D. Compaction of sediments
6. Which type of igneous rock is formed when magma erupts and solidifies on the Earth’s surface
resulting to the formation of very fine-grained crystals?
A. Volcanic
B. Plutonic
C. Phaneritic
D. Porphyritic
7. Which of the following distinguishes igneous rocks from other rock types?

8. Where do sediments came from?
A. Sediments are products of weathering and transported by glaciers, wind, and streams.
B. Sediments come directly from the crystallization of magma from the Earth’s interior.
C. Sediments are results of high temperature and pressure within the Earth’s interior.
D. Sediments are results from varying mineral composition.
9. Which of the following statements best explains why a metamorphic rock can change into
another metamorphic rock?
A. Low grade metamorphism might create a metamorphic rock and as it experiences
changes in temperature-pressure conditions, another metamorphic rock may form.
B. A metamorphic rock may melt and begin to crystallize as it move towards the Earth’s
surface
C. Metamorphic rocks may undergo weathering and and as sediments are transported and
deposited, it may eventually form another metamorphic rock.
D. Metamorphic rock may rise to the surface through magma and might undergo change in
composition as it reaches the Earth’s surface.
