Which of the following is igneous rock?

68% Answer Correctly

granite

marble

shale

sandstone


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


3

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass is the amount of matter something has

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

weight depends on the location where it is measured


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
