This document appears to be a quiz about rocks and minerals for the game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". It contains 15 multiple choice questions about topics like how igneous rocks are formed, the definition of weathering, the deepest layer of the Earth, what causes earthquakes, examples of trace fossils, and which type of scientist studies rocks. The questions get progressively harder and the cash values increase with each correct answer up to $1 million.

7. Oil and water resources are generally hosted in ___________ rocks.
a.
Organic
b.
Biochemical
c.
Volcanic
d.
Chemical
e.
Clastic
8. Shales, siltstones, and very fine-grained limestones are pretty similar in that the clast size is too fine to see with the naked eye. How can someone differentiate them/identify one from the others? Select all that apply.
a.
Limestone will always have fossils visible
b.
Limestone will react with acid
c.
You can identify the limestone, but you can't tell shales and siltstones apart without a microscope.
d.
Shales is fissile (will break into think layers)
e.
Siltstone has an earth lustre
f.
Shale is always black in colour
9. How does the roundness of clasts correlate with transportation distance?
a.
Rounded clasts have travelled further an angular clasts
b.
Roundness doesn't mean anything; the type of mineral impacts how far clasts can travel
c.
Roundness doesn't mean anything; the hardness of a mineral impacts how far clasts can travel
d.
Angular clasts have travelled further than rounded clasts
10. Which of the following rocks is NOT a biochemical sedimentary rock?
a.
Dolostone
b.
Travertine
c.
Chert

Coal
e.
Limestone
11. A rock that has clasts that are bigger than 2mm that are rounded, What is that?. (one word, spelled correct, no punctuation).
12. Potash, Salt, and Gypsum are chemical rocks formed by this process, process name?
14. What two factors impact how a rock will be metamorphosed?
a.
Rate of Cooling and Pressure
b.
Pressure and Depth of Burial
c.
Heat and Depth of Burial
d.
Heat and Pressure
15: Metamorphism of rocks causes the recrystallization of minerals, resulting in smaller crystal sizes.
Select one:
True
False
16: The parallel alignment or layering of mineral grains due to metamorphism is called what?
18. Why do you not find fossils in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
a.
The textures of these rocks makes it impossible to see the fossils
b.
The heat and pressure used to form these rocks would destroy any fossils
c.
The fossils are replaced by crystals of new minerals
d.
Yes you do, they are just too small to see.
