  1. Earth Systems Review Friday January 18, 2013

  2. 1. Sedimentary rocks form when broken bits of other rock are deposited and then – A. buried and squeezed and cemented together B. melted by the heat of the earth’s core C. completely dissolved in salt water in the ocean D. used by humans as a natural resource

  3. 2. Fossil fuels form in sedimentary rocks when – A. plants use the nutrients in sediments to grow B. organic matter is buried along with sediments C. rivers carry sediments down mountainsides D. sediments are used by humans as a resource

  4. 3. Based on the conditions needed for the formation of fossil fuels, which area described above is most likely to have fossil fuels present today? Area A Area B Area C Area D

  5. 4. Oil formation occurs where, millions of years ago, there were large oceans. This is because oceans have – A. waves that are constantly moving B. great numbers of microscopic plants C. currents that mix the water thoroughly D. deep caverns where no light can reach

  6. 5. What feature is the same in the formation of sedimentary rocks and the formation of fossil fuels? Both sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels - A. require material to be buried and exposed to heat and pressure B. are made out of organic material that stores the sun’s energy C. form where there are frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity D. are produced high in the mountains where temperatures are low
