Theory Review: Geology

Q1: How are the following rocks formed: Igneous Rock?

Formed when hot lava cools beneath the earth’s surface and creates small crystals.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Formed when magma cools rapidly on the surface and forms big crystals.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Formed when magma cooled slowly beneath the crust and larva cooled rapidly on the surface.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Q2: Why is an understanding of geology important for a guide?

Because everything that you see in the natural environment is determined by the geology in the area.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Because it is important to know the minerals in order to identify a rock.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Because as a guide you would need to know that sandy soils are very sensitive.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Q3: How are the following rocks formed: Metamorphic Rock?

Rocks that change their appearance due to erosion and weathering.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Minerals that change their appearance due to heat and pressure.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Soils that get deposited over time and form new layers of rock.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Q4: How are the following rocks formed: Sedimentary Rock?

Rocks that formed due to a large accumulation of minerals on the surface of the earth.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Rocks that formed due to pressure and heat of weathered material.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Rocks that form when weathered material was transported via the process of erosion and put under pressure.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Q5: What are the correct characteristics of Granite?

Small crystals, sweet soils, and sandy particles.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Large crystals, pale in colour, resistant to weathering and producing sandy, acidic soils

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Sour soils, small leaved trees and not resistant to weathering.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

What is a native element?

A rock composed of a mixture of different minerals.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A rock made up of only one mineral, e.g., gold

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A rock formed from the solidification of molten lava.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A rock that has undergone intense pressure and heat, causing its minerals to rearrange.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Why is a fossil fuel not a mineral?

It is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

It is an organic substance.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

It is a metamorphic rock formed from the recrystallization of limestone.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

It is a sedimentary rock composed of compacted and cemented plant and animal remains.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

What rock type is lithification connected to?

Igneous

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Metamorphic

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Sedimentary

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Volcanic

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Why is it important for guides to understand geology?

Geology helps guides predict asteroid patterns accurately.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Guides need to identify different types of rocks for aesthetic purposes only.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Geology is not relevant to guiding activities.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

By understanding geology, one will know what soils to expect, and, in turn, what plants and animals one can find in the area.
