Sure! Here are the answers for your questions:

Question 1: The most common rock-forming minerals are:

  • Response: quartz, olivine, feldspar, hornblende, augite, and mica.

Question 2: Match the Layer of the Earth with the correct description:

  • Outer Core: Liquid metal
  • Mantle: Lies above the outer core. In some places it contains melted rock called magma.
  • Crust: Thin layer of rock makes up the ground we walk on.
  • Inner Core: Solid metal

Question 3: Some types of igneous rocks form when lava from a volcano cools. Other types form when:

  • Response: magma cools beneath Earth's surface.

Question 4: Basalt forms from:

  • Response: mafic lava.

Question 5: Match the type of grain to the correct definition:

  • Fine grained: Cooled very quickly.
  • Medium-sized grains: Cools more slowly than fine grained but more quickly than coarse grained.
  • Coarse grained: Magma deep below Earth's surface cools very slowly.
