24 Which rock will be created in the contact metamorphic zone here?
A series of layers (strata) of sedimentary rock have been deposited over millions of years, as shown in the diagram to the right. If magma pushes its way to the surface, and heats rocks along the way, many of these rocks will melt. The rest will not melt however, and will instead undergo a contact metamorphism. How about here? Quartzite! Which rock will be created in the contact metamorphic zone here? Marble!

26 Which graph correctly represents the three most abundant elements, by mass, in Earth’s crust?

27 Rocks cannot be identified by physical properties like minerals can
Rocks cannot be identified by physical properties like minerals can. This is principally due to 1) The variety of minerals of differing properties that make them 2) The difference between the hardness of their forms 3) Their lack of properties 4) The manner in which their environment of formation effects them

35 marble (3) gabbro (2) quartzite (4) slate
These strata represent ancient history. Many millions of years ago a layer of siltstone and a layer of limestone were “intruded” by a felsic magma that cooled into granite.
