Question

compaction and cementation create layers of ____ that turn into ____ rock. * 2 p
options: sediment; igenous, sediment; sedimentary, striations; sedimentary, striations; igneous
igneous rocks that form inside the earths surface is known as... * 2 p
options: extrusive, interior, exterior, intrusive

Explanation:

First Question:

To solve this, we recall rock formation: Compaction and cementation act on sediment (particles like sand, mud) to form sedimentary rock. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, striations are scratches (not related to this process). So the correct pair is sediment and sedimentary.

Igneous rocks forming inside Earth’s surface (below the crust) are intrusive (e.g., granite). Extrusive forms on the surface (e.g., basalt). Interior/exterior are not rock - type terms here.

Answer:

B. sediment; sedimentary
