7 of 10 POSSIBLE POINTS: 2
A museum is creating a new geology exhibit about rocks from South America. The museum curator is
working on the information labels for two different rock samples. The information on the labels is as
follows:
1. Rock A formed from small pieces of rock.
2. Rock B formed from liquid rock in a different place.
3. Rocks A and B formed at about the same time.
The curator wants to put information about rock type on the labels. Are Rocks A and B the same or
different types of rock?
the same type because they both formed from rock material.
the same type because they formed at the same time.
different types because they formed in different places.
different types because they formed in different ways.
