Test: Rocks & its Types - Grade 4 MCQ

Magma is molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface. It is not considered a type of rock because it has not yet solidified.

Igneous rocks are formed when molten lava cools and solidifies. Examples of igneous rocks include basalt and granite.

Sedimentary rocks are formed through a process that involves the weathering, erosion, and deposition of sediment. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.

Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks undergo changes due to intense heat and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks include marble and slate.

Sedimentary rocks are often characterized by visible layers or bands, which are formed through the deposition and compaction of sediments over time.

Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock that is formed from the accumulation of the remains of marine organisms such as shells and coral.

Granite is a type of igneous rock that is commonly used as a building material due to its durability, strength, and attractive appearance.

Shale is a type of sedimentary rock that is formed from the deposition and compaction of fine-grained sediment such as clay and silt.

Coal is a type of sedimentary rock that is formed from the accumulation and compaction of organic material, such as plant debris, in swampy environments over millions of years.

Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that is commonly used in the production of statues and sculptures due to its beauty and ease of carving.
